American Standard 7381551-401.0070A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard Activate flush tower assembly, part 7381551-401?
It's the replacement flush valve tower for American Standard Activate toilets, the battery-powered touchless models. The tower is the column inside the tank that opens the flush valve, and it connects to the battery pack by a hose with a locking collar plus a barb elbow that carries an O-ring. If the toilet has stopped flushing on the sensor or won't seal after a flush, this is the assembly that comes out of the tank.
2) Do I have to pull the toilet tank off the bowl to replace an Activate flush tower?
Yes. The removal sequence calls for shutting off the supply, flushing the tank empty, taking off the tank cover, disconnecting the supply line and backing off the tank nuts to free the tank from the bowl. The tower's retaining nut comes off the underside of the tank, counterclockwise, so the tank has to come up to reach it. Budget for a tank-to-bowl gasket and bolt set on the same trip, since the tank is coming down either way.
3) What do I need to disconnect before pulling the flush tower out of an Activate toilet tank?
Three connections, in order. Open the battery compartment cover and unplug the battery cable from the terminal first, so nothing tries to actuate while your hands are in the tank. Then twist the locking collar off the hose assembly and pull the hose off the flush valve body. Last, pop the refill tube clip off the flush valve body. After that the nut on the underside of the tank is the only thing holding the tower.
4) My Activate toilet runs constantly after I swapped the flush tower. What did I miss?
Check the O-ring on the barb elbow of the flush valve tower. The install instruction is explicit that it has to be reinstalled there, and it's the easiest piece to leave sitting in the old hose fitting or drop in the tank. A missing or pinched O-ring at that joint leaks and the tank never settles. Also confirm the locking collar is fully seated back over the hose, not just started.
5) Is the 7381551-401 flush tower a finished or visible part, and does it come in different colors?
It's an in-tank component, so there's no decorative finish on it, and it's sold one way only, part 7381551-401.0070A. Nothing about it has to match the trip lever, seat, or bowl color you already have on the fixture.
6) I manage a building with several American Standard Activate toilets. Should I stock this flush tower?
It's a reasonable shelf item if you have a run of Activate touchless toilets. The tower is the moving assembly in a system where the rest of the tank hardware is mostly static, and every replacement is the same part number across those fixtures, 7381551-401.0070A, so one SKU covers the fleet. The job is a tank-off job, though, so plan it as a scheduled repair rather than a five-minute call.
