Hi mickmate. I will always bow to your wisdom. But the grasshopper

DanEC. I might have to get that Home Depot part number from you.

Cheers

Greg - I might be able to do better than that because I think I saw a second one in my box of accumulated spare parts. I don't remember why I picked up two - maybe they came two to a pack. I'll check this evening and if so I can send it to you. No point in it rotting away in my garage for the next 20 years (unless I get a leaking toilet bowl).

I'll let you know.

Greg - I was mistaken. What I saw was a soft, foam rubber seal that I had picked up to try out and I ruled out on a closer look as unsuitable. I'm well stocked for plumbing work now.

I'll stop by Home Depot (it's on my way) after work tomorrow and check on the part no. and manufacturer of what I use.

That beveled plumbing gasket looks a lot like the rubber seal on an American Standard commercial urinal. Fits on a brass casting that's threaded to the tail pipe on the wall and bolts to the toilet.
Sorry for the unorthodox description! Aren't you glad to know this!:rolleyes:

Urinal Repair - American Standard - Kohler - Plugs - Gaskets - Seals - Strainers - Spuds - Flanges - Screens
Scroll down to gasket #8138.

Any local commercial plumbing supply place will have one you can check out.

Greg - what I used from Home Depot is a Flush Valve Shank Washer by Fluidmaster, Part 89170. It's in a green and red blister pack. Here it was in the group of flush valve and toilet bowl valves parts.

I think I put a thin bead of 3M strip caulk around the pipe where it came through the body to seal it tight and that helped hold the washer in place against the body curve.

If you can't find one there let me know and I'll send you one. They are only a couple bucks.

Hi Fred. Bought a couple of seals at Home Depot as advised by Dan:

3.25" OD x 2.375" ID x 0.375 HT tapered on the outside .

Cheers
Greg

FWB 12-14-2013 12:44 PM

thanks, those are smaller than what i have here.
whats the application of those?
american standard?

my427cobra 12-14-2013 02:34 PM

Hi Fred. As Dan described, at Home Depot, red and green package labelled "Fluidmaster Flush Valve Shank Washer" part number 89170. The packaging does not state a specific application of any kind (eg: AmericanStandard) on the package.

I'll post an image of the package later.

Cheers
Greg

Fits nice I think:

That's without any sealant to hold it in place. Although it fits well to the contour, I'll probably put a little sealant on the bottom and around the ID to prevent water from leaking into the trunk area.

Cheers

Greg - looks like a finished product. Glad it worked out. I was afraid you might have a different diameter neck on your cap base.
