American Standard Shower Door Bottom Gasket - AMS-710405-101

It is the bottom gasket (sweep seal) for an American Standard shower door. The gasket runs along the lower edge of the door panel and closes the gap between the door and the curb or threshold so water stays inside the enclosure. It is the wear part you replace when the old seal has gone hard, torn, or started letting water out onto the bathroom floor, rather than a whole door or frame component. Order it by the American Standard manufacturer number 710405-101.0070A.

Treat it as an American Standard replacement part, not a universal seal. Shower door sweeps are cut to a specific panel thickness and track profile, so a gasket sold against American Standard number 710405-101.0070A is intended for the American Standard door it was built for. If you are working on a door from another manufacturer, match that maker's own sweep instead of forcing this one on. The safest check on site is to pull the old gasket and compare it to the American Standard number before ordering.

Yes, and it is one of the more common turnover repairs on a glass shower. The sweep at the bottom of the door takes the water and the foot traffic, so it fails long before the glass, hinges, or frame do. Keeping the American Standard gasket 710405-101.0070A on the shelf lets maintenance fix a leaking enclosure without pulling the door assembly. Standardizing only works if the units actually use the same American Standard door, so confirm the model across the property before buying in quantity.

Because there is nothing to finish. The bottom gasket is a seal component, not a trim or metal piece, so it carries no plated or painted finish option the way a handle, hinge, or header rail would. There is a single version of 710405-101.0070A to order, with no finish choice to match to your chrome, nickel, or bronze hardware.
