american standard

We just purchased a home recently which has wall mount toilets, approx 40yrs old. One is an American Standard with a 4049 tank, gravity flow. The tank cracked and flooded the bathroom. I’m looking for a replacement tank but only find the pressure assist for that model. Will the pressure assist...

I'm not gonna do this myself, but before I engage a plumber, I want to know the direction I'm headed in. Toilet is an American Standard Yorkville 3701.016 (same spec sheet as the 2876.016, it looks like). It's a discontinued model, but replacing the toilet is not a good option, because the tile...

I have a leaky kitchen faucet, which I believe is American Standard brand. I'm trying to remove the hot water handle in an attempt to fix the leak. In the videos I've watched, most of the faucets have a cap that you pop off with a screwdriver or a screw that you remove to take the handle off...

I have an American Standard one-piece elongated Lexington (331 2006) that has water leaking into the bowl and causing quick phantom flushing. The leak is coming from a couple of the rim flush holes closest to the tank. I've replaced the the entire tilt-valve assembly (everything including the...

I have an American Standard antiquity one piece toilet manufactured in Oct.2002 and the toilet seat broke on it, but i cant seem to find any kind of seat that fits it, is there anywhere that sells the seat for this toilet? It is some kind of custom seat i think. We really like the looks of it...

The set screw was well hidden on this one, but I found it and removed it. But now the lever still won't budge. I've decalcified as best I could and have even used WD-40. But it's stuck. Has anyone seen this model before? It would if I knew whether I should turn (counter-clockwise) or pull...

Hello All and Terry, I am in the midst of replacing toilets for a hotel property and have a rather big decision to make as there are 24 units that have to get changed out, so I don't want to make a hasty decision. Looking for any and all comments. Especially for those who have experience with...

My 30+ year old 3-handle shower-tub faucet is no longer functioning correctly. The hot-cold water flow and temperature (due to the hot-cold water mixing) are fine when diverted to the tub spout, but not through the shower head. From my layman's view, it appears that the diverter valve needs to...

Hello, We are in the market for 4 new toilets. I've done lots of research but each time we start leaning towards another brand we come back to Toto. A couple of questions I'm hoping someone can help answer: 1. Are the parts in the Vespin II standard parts that can be found at a local store or...

Here is an American Standard toilet that I removed the other day. As started to carry it out of the home, we noticed water coming from it. Surprising, as we had where I expected possible water was already plugged. I set it back down and found this hole at the back of the bowl. You can see...

Hello All, few days ago we replaced our entire Central AC unit. New Heat Pump and Air Handler. Older unit was over 12 years old and finally had Freon leak in the evaporator coil. We went with Silver 14 Heat Pump (2.5 Ton) with matching Temp4 Air Handler. Most folks told us key to long lasting...

don't see a set screw anywhere, but could it be possible the shower actually needs to be turn on to see it? This could be 1980 vintage, up and down for volume, left and right for hot/cold. won't turn off without a lot of luck. thx

Hello everyone, I have searched the forums and I can not find an answer to this question. I did however find a similar question by a first time poster from 2012 that went unanswered: Here is his post: Hi. This is my first post and thank you for the awesome website. I have been reading a lot...

We are replacing 3 toilets and I need to make a decision here. I've read reviews, watched videos, but never had the chance to see any of these toilets in person hooked up. We want elongated comfort height toilets that have a good washdown. Flushing golf balls etc is not relevant to our...
