HEAR DRIPPING FROM AMERICAN STANDARD COMMODE

The older styles have a screw at the end of the shaft where the fill valve is, turn the screw in and out to adjust float arm level. Newer ones have a plastic nut and bolt about midway along the shaft. Turn the nut to loosen slightly, push the float up or down and tighten the nut. Caution: The plastic bolt breaks easily so don't tighten the nut too much.

It could be a bad seat around the flapper or the flapper itself. Replace flapper with one designed for the Cadet. Check water level and see it doesn't flow above the overflow tube. if it is above the tube lower the float ball by turning the screw at top of ball.

No that flaw it is just not adjusted right. All that you need to do is adjust the chain so the float can not get under the flapper. To do this remove the hook from the flush handel. Once that is done adjust the chain by moving the hook down the chain a couple of links or un till you have about 2 links of slack.

Good Luck

Is the drip comming from the small fill tube going into the overflow? If so you may need to raise it a little. The nost common leak is from the flapper or seal. On rare occasioms the flush valve itself has a defect that will cause it to leak. Take a close look at the problem and Im sure you will find it. I hope this helps.

Those are your float cut off adjustment screws. You are supposed to turn those to adjust the 1) rapid or slow fill of the tank and 2) the cut off level, which should be 3 mm or 1/2 inch below the over flow tube.
People are NOT supposed to bend the metal arm, or untwist the ball if they have those features on their particular model.

It's either plugged or the tank isn't filling properly.
If it's the tank then the fill valve in the tank needs to be adjusted. There should be a screw to adjust the float ball. Back the screw out until the fill valve starts to run;let the water run until the tank fills to the fill line then turn the screw back in.Try flushing the toilet. If that doesn't work then the toilet is probably plugged.
If it's plugged you may need to rent/borrow a snake to clear the line.

the floor flange..where the toilet bolts go, should be on top of finished floor and screwed down .it should only be apox.3/8"higher then finished floor.you often have to cut a tapered hole so floor flange sits correctly

your fill valve has trash under the gasket at the top of the fill valve.

There should be two screws on top of the assembly to control the level of the water. One increases, the other decreases. But if the bulb has a horizontal split it will have to be replaced. It simply screws of and on the arm. The water hose clips to the drain tube and the water should be directed inside the tube.

Buy a bulb, and if nothing else, bend the arm down to decrease the level of the arm and bulb and consequently the water level.

the reason your water keeps running is because the float has not closed of the valve in the stem on the left side. a quick fix is i take the rod that has the float on it and bend it down a little. i also make sure that the plug that fits over the drain seats properly alot of times through age the plug tends to harden up and not seat properly. if you cant get it to seat replace it. if your model has an adjustment screw on the valve body try adjusting that as well.......good luck please rate this
