I have a depression era home and it has original American Standard Toilets and Sinks. Both Toilets are top fill units that need internal components. The first toilet is a A/S Purima in Green and the other a A/S Teriston in purple. The issue I am having is that it appears that the ball cock filling valves are wearing out, and I replaced the seat and the ball cock from a local parts place here in Tucson with matching parts 6 months ago and the Teristan won't stop filling unless you put extra force on the float but it was still hissing some. While diagnosing the problem today, the rubber disc on the ball cock was cut by the seat.
So I'm going to order another ball cock (12981?) and attempt the repair again.
I've looked and looked and it appears there are no American Standard top fill valves being made or sold. Anyone know of a source for these new or good used? I would like to replace the valve on both units.
