American Standard 738172-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which American Standard tanks and toilets does the 738172 right hand trip lever fit?
The 738172 right hand trip lever is the genuine American Standard replacement for 4029 and 4072 tanks, and for 2099 and 2100 one piece toilets. If the tank on the fixture you are servicing is one of those, this is the arm and lever that goes back in. It mounts on the right hand side of the tank, so confirm the existing lever comes out of the right face before ordering.
2) Will a right hand toilet trip lever work if my tank has the handle on the left?
No. Handing on a trip lever is not reversible in practice, because the arm is bent to reach the flush valve from one side of the tank only. The 738172 is a right hand assembly, mounted through the right face of the tank. A left hand tank needs a left hand lever with the arm bent the opposite way. Stand in front of the toilet and look at which side the existing handle sits on before you order.
3) Is the American Standard 738172 trip lever metal or plastic?
Plastic, including the chrome version, which is a color matched finish rather than plated brass. For a residential or light commercial tank being repaired back to original, that is exactly what came out of it. In a high traffic restroom where handles get yanked, a metal lever holds up better under abuse, but it has to be one with the same 45 degree, 6 inch arm geometry to reach the flush valve on a 4029 or 4072 tank.
4) What finishes does the American Standard 738172 trip lever come in, and which part number is which?
Two finishes. Chrome is part 738172-0020A, color matched to American Standard Polished Chrome. White is part 738172-0200A. Both are the same right hand assembly, so pick on what the rest of the trim in the bathroom looks like. For a maintenance crew stocking a building, the chrome is the one that matches standard American Standard tank trim.
5) Does the American Standard 738172 come with the arm, or just the handle?
Both. The assembly contains the trip lever and the arm, so there is nothing else to buy to get the tank flushing again, assuming your flapper and chain are sound. If the chain is corroded or the flapper is not sealing, replace those separately; a new lever will not fix a running toilet caused downstream of the arm.
6) Can I standardize on one trip lever across a building of American Standard toilets?
Only where the tanks are the same models and the same hand. The 738172 covers 4029 and 4072 tanks plus 2099 and 2100 one piece toilets, right hand mount. A property with a mix of American Standard fixtures will usually need more than one lever part number, so walk the building and log tank model plus which side the handle sits on before you buy a case of anything.
