American Standard 6047161.002 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What toilets is this American Standard Ultima flush valve compatible with?
This piston-type flush valve fits American Standard Ultima toilet models with 1.6 GPF rating. Check your existing valve part number or toilet model to confirm compatibility before ordering.
2) How do I identify if I have a piston-type flush valve?
Piston-type valves have a cylindrical mechanism that moves up and down to control water flow. Remove the tank lid and look for the vertical piston assembly connected to the flush handle chain.
3) What tools are needed for installation?
Basic installation requires adjustable pliers, screwdriver, and plumber's grease. Turn off water supply and drain tank completely before starting replacement work.
4) Does this valve meet current plumbing codes?
Yes, the 1.6 GPF rating meets federal water efficiency standards and most local plumbing codes. Verify local requirements as some areas may have stricter water conservation rules.
5) How long should this flush valve last?
With proper maintenance and normal use, this flush valve typically lasts 5-8 years. Hard water conditions may require more frequent replacement or seal maintenance.
6) What are signs that the flush valve needs replacement?
Common symptoms include incomplete flushing, continuous running water, weak flush performance, or visible cracks in the valve body. Replace immediately if water leaks around the valve seat.
7) Can I adjust the flush volume with this valve?
This is a fixed 1.6 GPF valve with limited adjustment capability. Fine-tune performance by adjusting the chain length and water level in the tank according to manufacturer specifications.
8) Are replacement seals available separately?
Yes, individual seals and gaskets are typically available for maintenance. Check with American Standard parts for specific seal kits compatible with this valve model.
9) How do I maintain this flush valve?
Clean mineral deposits monthly using white vinegar. Lubricate moving parts annually with plumber's grease. Inspect and replace seals every 2-3 years in hard water areas.
10) What other Ultima toilet parts might need replacement?
Common companion parts include fill valves, flappers, and flush handle assemblies. Consider replacing all internal components together for optimal performance and longevity.
11) Will this work in commercial applications?
This manual flush valve is designed for residential use. Commercial installations typically require heavy-duty flush valves rated for higher usage cycles and vandal resistance.
