American Standard 738942-100.0070A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard Cadet 738942-100 flush valve assembly used for?
It is the toilet flush valve assembly for American Standard Cadet tanks, rated at 1.6 gallons per flush. The assembly is the tower and seat that sits inside the tank and releases water to the bowl when the trip lever is pulled, and it ships with an adjustable water saving flapper. Order it under manufacturer part 738942-100.0070A.
2) Do I need to buy a flapper separately with this Cadet flush valve?
No. The adjustable water saving flapper comes with the 738942-100 assembly, so you are not sourcing a flapper on a second line. That matters for a property manager doing a run of toilets, since the flapper is the part that usually fails first and you get a fresh one with every valve.
3) Will this flush valve work in a 1.28 GPF high efficiency toilet?
This is a 1.6 GPF assembly, matched to Cadet tanks built for a 1.6 gallon flush. Putting it in a tank spec'd for a lower volume changes the flush the fixture was engineered around, so match the valve to the GPF stamped on your tank or bowl rather than mixing volumes.
4) Is this the fill valve or the flush valve for a Cadet toilet?
Flush valve. It controls water leaving the tank into the bowl. The fill valve is the separate assembly on the other side of the tank that refills it after the flush, and it is a different part. If your complaint is slow refill or a hissing tank, you want the fill valve, not this.
5) My Cadet toilet runs constantly. Is replacing the whole flush valve the fix, or just the flapper?
Start with the flapper, since a worn or warped flapper is the usual cause of a running toilet and this assembly includes an adjustable one. If the running continues after a new flapper seats, the seat surface on the valve body itself is damaged and the full 738942-100 assembly is the correct repair, because you cannot resurface the seat reliably in the field.
6) Can I adjust the flush volume on this Cadet flush valve?
The flapper supplied with the assembly is adjustable, which is how you tune how long the flapper stays open and therefore how much of the tank dumps per flush. Useful when you are standardizing a building's toilets and want consistent bowl clearance without over-flushing.
7) Does the Cadet 738942-100 flush valve come in different finishes?
There is one version only, with no finish option, because the assembly lives inside the tank where nothing is visible. Nothing to specify beyond the part number itself.
