water leakage. Water supply
tube or pipe must extend at
least 1/2" inside threaded
shank of valve (does not
apply to flanged tubing).
Use existing
coupling nut
and washer.
Use existing spiral
cone washer.

CARE AND CLEANING
When cleaning your toilet, wash it with mild, soapy water, rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid detergents,
disinfectants, or cleaning products in aerosol cans. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders or abrasive pads on your toilet seat. Some
bathroom chemicals and cosmetics may damage the seat's finish.
WARNING: Do not use in-tank cleaners. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage fittings in the tank. This
damage can cause leakage and property damage.
American Standard shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine
(calcium hypochlorite).
!

ADJUSTMENTS
a. Adjust water level. Water level should
be adjusted to level indicated on tank by
adjusting float cup.
See Step 11 for water level
adjustment method.
b. Make sure Full Flush Adjustment is at
the bottom setting (0). A higher setting
will result in less water and is not
recommended.
c. Make sure Partial Flush Adjustment is
at the bottom setting (0). A higher setting
will result in less water and is not
recommended.
NOTE: The Fill Valve does not have a refill
tube. The refill port on the Fluidmaster fill
valve is 100% blocked off. Please ensure that
the correct repair part is used as this fill valve
varies from the standard Fluidmaster 400A.
• To remove Flush Valve, apply slight downward pressure and twist it until the
flush valve disengages from the bayonet.
• To reinstall Flush Valve, reverse the above procedure making sure the blue
(Partial Flush Button) will line up with the Partial Flush Button on the Tank Lid.

lifting arm and rotating top
and arm 1/8 turn
counterclockwise, pressing
down slightly on cap.

lugs and rotating 1/8 turn
clockwise. MAKE CERTAIN

THE LOCKED POSITION.
For troubleshooting information please contact:
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK
SLOWLY, repeat Step 13.
IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING PERIODS OF
NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting water because:
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or
misaligned with tank ball or flapper (replace with a new flapper).
IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or REFILL OF
TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has been in use for some
time, Fluidmaster Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.
