1950s american standard toilet flush valve

[Americanbobstandard]

I would like to replace the flush valve and seat. The seat base is made of brass. I only have the base but would like to replace with original and not those cheap universal kits. Even thought I am using a universal one know. I think the original seal underneath might have a slow leak. The toilet is large with an elongated toilet seat. I see a number 4 flush valve kit available on line. Is that the right kit it need?

Thank you,
Bob

The leading edge of the seat is the leading edge. Take 1000 grit wet sandpaper over sanding block to smooth it up. Follow up with a finer grit if it's not polished enough. There are parts available just need to look.

Just to make sure. Which model do I have? A couple of them look similar. I just want to make sure I get the right parts.

Thank you

Have no idea I'd call them.

I think that flush valve should fit just fine. You have a 1950's Master One Piece toilet. Very nice toilet! There are videos online showing how to retrofit them. Some of these older One Piece toilets had curtain flush valves.

I appreciate the link to the video. My main concern is removing the old brass flush valve seat. I don't want to break the porcelain.

I may have fixed the problem with the cheap universal parts but I know that will not be a long term fix.

Thank you

Taking the flush valve apart would be my last step. Try sanding it in place.

I only saved the bottom brass piece that is attached to the toilet. Thank you.

that is exactly what I used except for the horrible adjustable flapper. I could not adjust it correctly for the right flush. I used the seat and bought the fluid master non adjustable flapper and I believe it is fine for now. The water level is staying good for around 48 hours and flushing well.. Still think it is not a long term fix.

Thank you
