American Standard Cadet Right Hand Toilet Trip Lever - AMS-738494

It's a right-hand lever, so it mounts through the hole on the right side of the tank front as you face the toilet. If your existing handle comes out of the left side or the front-left, this is the wrong part. Match the hole location on the tank before ordering, not the side the flapper chain hangs on.

Yes. This is the service lever for the Cadet close-coupled flushometer tank with pressure-assisted siphon jet flush action, which is the pressure-assist configuration on the elongated 12 inch rough Cadet. On pressure-assist tanks the lever actuates the cartridge push rod rather than pulling a flapper chain, so using the correct factory lever matters for stroke.

Two: chrome (part 738494-0020A) and linen (part 738494-2220A). Chrome is the metal lever that ships on the standard Cadet pressure-assist tank; linen is the color match for linen-colored china. Order by the suffix, since the lever itself is otherwise the same part.

That's the configuration this lever services: the elongated Cadet on a 12 inch (305mm) rough with the close-coupled flushometer tank, fully glazed 2-1/8 inch trapway and 2 inch minimum ballpass. Bowl shape and rough dimension don't change the lever itself, but they confirm you're on the Cadet model this part was built for. Handing is the spec that actually has to match.

It's a common MRO consumable. The trip lever is the one external moving part on a toilet and it's the first thing to break from daily handle abuse in multi-family and commercial restrooms. Stocking the chrome 738494-0020A covers right-hand Cadet pressure-assist tanks across a fleet, and a swap is a hand-tool job at the tank wall, no shutoff of the supply needed beyond draining the tank.
