American Standard Gasket, Fits Brand American Standard, For Use with Series American Standard, Toilets - 7301111-0070A

Gravity tank-to-bowl gaskets, hardware, and kits are essential for installing new toilets or replacing worn parts in existing ones. Gaskets, made of rubber or plastic, create a watertight seal at the tank-to-bowl connection. Over time, they can wear out and may need to be replaced if they start leaking. Hardware parts like nuts, bolts, and washers are used to connect the tank to the bowl. They should be replaced if they crack, corrode, or don't fit properly due to stripped threads. Gravity-tank repair parts help fix leaks and restore proper flushing in gravity-flush toilets, saving you the cost of replacing the whole toilet. These parts are ideal for replacing broken or worn components in gravity-fed tanks found in homes, apartments, hotel rooms, and other low-traffic areas (20 to 30 flushes per day). Signs that your toilet tank needs repair include leaking, constant running, and flushing problems.

Using this American Standard toilet gasket is easy. First, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Then, empty the tank and remove the old gasket and hardware. Clean the tank and bowl connection area thoroughly. Place the new gasket in position and attach the tank to the bowl using the provided nuts, bolts, and washers. Make sure they are tightened properly but don't over-tighten to avoid cracking. As for maintenance, check the gasket and hardware regularly for signs of wear or damage. If you notice any leaks or flushing issues, inspect the parts and replace them if necessary. Remember to keep the area around the tank and bowl clean to prevent debris from causing problems.
