American standard 6.0 lpf / 1.6 gpf parts i need to know what the fill valve shut off level looks like

SOURCE: water shut off sticks open

Make sure that the float in not touching the side of the bowl. You may oil the hinge on the float. Lastly you may turn off the water , open the valve and see if any of the internal parts are swollen or enlarged interfering with the final rising of the float, and closing of the valve.

SOURCE: American Standard toilet constantly runs

The rubber cork thst lifts when you press the handle is leaking by and causes the water level to drop below shut off level so it trys to maintain the the shut off level every minute or so. Replace the cork with one made with the red rubber. good luck

SOURCE: American Standard Cadet 3 - bowl water slowly drains

ok, I read through all the web sites and solutions for the Cadet3 bowl loosing all the water after 3-5 minutes of being flushed. After installing my own, I figured I didn't get a good seal with the wax ring, I must have misaligned it. So, I went out and bought a new wax ring, picked up the toilet, cleaned everything up and made absolutely sure it was seated right. No Joy, same thing the toilet bowl would loose all of it's water regardless of the tank adjustements. My vents were not clogged. so, about the time I am ready to take the toilet back I tried flushing one more time and water wouldn't go down so I plunged it several times and what ya know the toilet works normally now and retains water at the right level. While I am no expert, it appears to me that since there wasn't anything ever put in the toilet except for 2 small pieces of toilet paper that maybe part of the huge wax ring that came with it partially clogged the toilet causing a siphening effect? How else would the water level seep way down below the bottom of the top portion of the trap built into the toilet bowl (unless the toliet was defective)? So, it may not be your prroblem but before replacing the toilet, I would recommend a long hearty plung if your toilet bowl won't hold it's water.
