American Standard Flapper, Fits Brand American Standard, For Use with Series Colony, Toilets, Gravity Tanks - 7381008-400.0070A

Gravity - tank flappers and seals are crucial for gravity - flush toilets. The flappers lift to let water rush out for a powerful flush and then reseat to keep water in the tank. The seals form a tight ring around the flappers. These parts are perfect for replacing worn - out or warped flappers and seals that cause toilets to run non - stop. Gravity - tank repair parts save you money by fixing leaks and restoring proper flushing, so you don't have to replace the whole toilet. They're ideal for gravity - fed tanks in homes, apartments, hotel rooms, and other low - traffic areas (20 to 30 flushes per day). Signs that your toilet tank needs these parts include leaking, constant running, and poor flushing.

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. Place the new flapper in the same position as the old one and attach the chain to the flush lever. Make sure it's adjusted properly so the flapper can lift and drop smoothly. Next, put the new seal around the flapper. Finally, turn the water supply back on and check for leaks. As for maintenance, regularly check the flapper and seal for any signs of wear, like cracks or warping. If you notice any issues, replace the parts right away. Also, keep the tank clean to prevent debris from getting in and causing problems. And remember, this flapper is designed for low - traffic areas, so don't use it in a place with heavy flushing frequency.
