Product Description
Gravity tank-to-bowl gaskets, hardware, and kits are essential for installing new toilets or replacing worn parts on existing ones. Gaskets, made of rubber or plastic, create a tight seal at the tank-to-bowl joint. Over time, they can wear out and may leak, requiring replacement. Hardware like nuts, bolts, and washers connect the tank to the bowl. These parts may need replacing if they crack, corrode, or don't fit properly due to stripped threads. Gravity-tank repair parts fix leaks and restore proper flushing in gravity-flush toilets, saving you the cost of a full replacement. These toilet tank parts are great for homes, multi - family buildings, hotel rooms, and other low - traffic areas with 20 to 30 flushes a day. Signs of a toilet tank in need of repair include leakage, continuous running, and flushing failures.
Using this American Standard toilet tank - to - bowl kit is easy. First, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Then, empty the tank and remove the old gaskets and hardware. Clean the tank and bowl connection area thoroughly. Place the new gasket in position and connect the tank to the bowl using the provided nuts, bolts, and washers. Make sure everything is tightened properly but don't over - tighten to avoid cracking the parts. When you're done, turn the water supply back on and check for leaks. As for maintenance, regularly check the gaskets and hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If you notice any issues like leaks or flushing problems, replace the parts as soon as possible. Also, keep the area clean to prevent debris from causing problems.
