American Standard Flapper, Fits Brand American Standard, For Use with Series American Standard, Toilets - 7381129-200.0070A

Gravity-tank flappers and seals are essential components for gravity-flush toilets. They cover the outlet where water exits the tank to fill the toilet bowl. When you flush, the flapper lifts to release water, and then reseats to keep water in the tank. The seals form a tight ring around the flappers. These parts are great for replacing old, worn, or warped flappers and seals that no longer seal properly, preventing toilets from running constantly. Gravity-tank repair parts help fix leaks and restore proper flushing in gravity-flush toilets, saving you the cost of replacing the whole toilet. They are suitable for common gravity-fed tanks in homes, apartments, hotel rooms, and other low-traffic places (20 to 30 flushes per day). Signs that your toilet tank needs repair include leaking, continuous running, and failure to flush.

Using this American Standard toilet flapper is easy. First, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Then, remove the old flapper and seal from the tank. Install the new flapper and make sure it fits properly over the outlet. Reattach the chain to the flush handle. Finally, turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks. As for maintenance, regularly check the flapper and seal for wear and tear. If you notice any cracks or damage, replace them right away. Also, keep the tank clean to prevent debris from affecting the flapper's performance. When the toilet is running constantly or not flushing well, these are signs that the flapper might need attention. Make sure to handle the flapper gently during installation and maintenance to avoid any damage.
