CONNECT WATER SUPPLY
a. Connect water supply line between
shutoff valve and tank water inlet
fitting. Tighten COUPLING NUT 1/4 turn
beyond hand tight. Check that refill tube
is inserted into overflow tube.
b. Turn on supply valve and allow tank to
fill until float rises to shutoff position.
c. Check for leakage at fittings, tighten or
correct as needed.
d. Do not use plumber's putty to seal
these fittings.
ADJUSTMENTS
a. Flush tank and check that tank fills and shuts off within 30 to 60
seconds, and tank water level is set as specified on tank rear wall.
b. To adjust water level: turn water level adjustment screw
counterclockwise to raise level; turn adjustment screw clockwise to
lower level.
c. To adjust flow rate (tank fill time): turn flow rate adjustment screw
clockwise to decrease flow rate (increase fill time); turn adjustment
screw counterclockwise to increase flow rate (decrease fill time).
d. Carefully position tank cover on tank.
e. The flush valve float has been factory set and does not require
adjustments. Repositioning of the float will change the amount of
water used which may effect the toilet's performance.
f. If bowl fails to siphon, an adjustment may be required with the lift chain.
Simply remove the bead chain from the retainment clip (see Fig. 10A)
and take up slack on the chain, and reinsert on lift rod. Make sure the
chain is not too taught.
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).
REPAIR PARTS LIST
NOTE: "XXX" represents color or trim finish options. Specify
when ordering.
Repair parts are determined by toilet tank number which can be
found marked inside tank.
PART NO.
