Product Description
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 tight seal between the tank and the bowl. Over time, they can wear out and cause leaks, so replacement might be needed. The hardware includes nuts, bolts, and washers for connecting the tank and the bowl. These may need to be replaced if they crack, corrode, or don't fit properly due to stripped threads. Gravity-tank repair parts can fix leaks and restore proper flushing in gravity-flush toilets, saving you the cost of replacing the whole toilet. These parts are perfect for homes, apartments, hotel rooms, and other low-traffic areas with 20 - 30 flushes per day. Signs that your toilet tank needs repair are leaking, constant running, and failure to flush.
Using this American Standard tank - to - bowl kit is easy. First, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Then, empty the tank by flushing and use a sponge to soak up any remaining water. Remove the old gaskets and hardware carefully. Place the new gasket on the tank outlet, making sure it's centered. Connect the tank to the bowl using the provided nuts, bolts, and washers, and tighten them gently but firmly. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks. When using the kit, always ensure that the hardware is tightened properly to prevent leaks. Also, make sure the gaskets are clean and free of debris before installation. For maintenance, periodically check the gaskets for signs of wear and the hardware for corrosion. If you notice any issues, replace the parts as soon as possible to keep your toilet working well.
