American Standard Heritage Left Hand Metal Toilet Trip Lever - AMS-730283

Left hand. The Heritage metal trip lever mounts on the left side of the tank front, which is what most American Standard Heritage tanks use. If the tank you are repairing has its lever hole on the right end of the front face, this is the wrong part and you want the right hand version instead. Check the tank, not the old lever, since a lever can be swapped in wrong by a previous repair.

American Standard 730283-0020A is the ordering number, chrome, left hand. The 0020 suffix is the chrome finish code. Give a distributor the full number rather than just 730283, since the trailing finish code is what pins the plated version.

Metal, both the handle and the arm, in a chrome finish. That matters on a high traffic restroom where plastic levers snap at the arm hub after a few thousand flushes. The whole assembly weighs 0.551 pounds, which is the weight of a solid metal arm rather than a metal handle on a plastic shank.

Yes, it is a repair part sold on its own. The lever, shank nut and arm come as one assembly, so a snapped handle or a stripped arm is a lever swap, not a tank swap. Nothing else in the flush train is included, so if the flapper or chain is also worn, order those separately.

Chrome is the only finish this one is built in, so it will match chrome trim across a fleet of American Standard fixtures. What it will not do is cover a mixed handing situation. Property managers standardizing across a floor should count how many tanks have the lever hole on the left before ordering a case, since left hand and right hand are separate part numbers and not reversible.

It fits either. American Standard classes it as a repair part rather than a residential or commercial specific item, and Heritage tanks turn up in apartments, hotels and older institutional restrooms alike. The deciding factor is the tank model and the handing, not the building type.
