Before continuing, determine the type of water supply connecation you have from
the chart below and use the appropriate assembly parts required to properly
reconnect the water supply. DO NOT use plumber's putty to seal these fittings.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE
CONE WASHER WITH
PLASTIC SUPPLY LINE.
These parts must be used as
illustrated to insure water-tight
connection. Use of existing
coupling nut may result in
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.
Fluidmaster cone
washer may not
seal completely on
spiral type supply
line.
Captive cone
washers already
included. No
additional washers
needed.

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).

• Make sure water supply is
off. Remove valve TOP by
lifting arm and rotating top
and arm 1/8 turn
counterclockwise, pressing
down slightly on cap.
IMPORTANT: Always clear
sand and rust from system.
• While holding a container
over the uncapped VALVE
to prevent splashing, turn
water supply on and off a
few times. Leave water
supply off.
• Replace TOP by engaging
lugs and rotating 1/8 turn
clockwise. MAKE CERTAIN
TIP IS TURNED TO THE
LOCKED POSITION. VALVE
MAY NOT TURN ON IF TOP
IS NOT FULLY TURNED TO
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 end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe, below
water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow pipe using "S"
clip provided.
• 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.
