The toilet tank says American Standard, 2005. So maybe that's who made the flush valve, but I can't find a flush valve like it on AS's web site or any other. The problem I'm having with it is this: When the flush arm goes up, it pulls the chain you see in the above photo, which pulls up on a central column, which pulls up the whole white cylinder.
The Kohler canister flush uses a unique size hole in the porcelain, and so isn't easily replaced with an aftermarket flush valve. If you had an American Standard toilet with a tower flush or funnel flush, or a Toto or any number of other brands with a 3" flush valve, you could swap it for the Korky Large 3" Adjustable Flush Valve Kit, model ...
Nov 11, 2022. #1. This is a quick comparison of the old vs improved champion 4 flush valve. I have two of the old style champion 4 flush valves and both were ghost flushing. I contacted American Standard and they sent me 'improved' flush valves. They switched over to the new design sometime in 2020. I read somewhere there is a potential class ...
I found new 1B1-X ballcocks (~$24)and rebuild kits ($3.69) online at Ace hardware and DoItBest hardware stores. The new 1B1-X ballcocks don't have the lower flush float valve that feeds the rim flush so I purchased the rebuild kit at a local DoItBest hardware store (part number 450758 O/M 1-25) and repaired our old one in about 10 minutes.
I searched the web and found that the Canterbury toilet, the original Eljer flush valve, and the Certain-Flush flush valve are all now discontinued products. The good news is that there may still be some Eljer valves available, and also there appears to be suitable replacement flush valves that are widely available, e.g. from Korky.
The 4" into the 3" leaves a lot of water in the tank. One the one-piece Champion 4's it's very hard to get them to flush well. With then Champion's with the tanks, at least the flush valve can be changed out to the Korky or Fluidmaster 3" versions. Flappers are adjustable for flotation and thus how water water will pass through.
Most people don't have a flush valve with a canister or the stopper thingy. That's a Kohler thing. American Standard had a different version flush tower for a while, but they dumped it because their version was super-problematic. (In fact, they effectively recalled it, sending out a new type of flush valve to all registered owners.
The flush valve is the thing that usually has a flapper on it. I suspect the leaking continues when the tank is full and you turn off the supply valve. In that case, the leaking would be at the gasket at the base of the fill valve.
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. Video: Retrofitting a One Piece American Standard toilet
I have a Kohler toilet (only about 2 years old) with the "silent fill" valve. When flushing, the float cup drops as the water goes out but then the refill does not start after it drops. If I apply just a little bit of downward pressure to the valve arm, moving it down just the tiniest amount further (like 1cm), it then starts refilling.
