Frequently Asked Questions - Town Square S 2851A104 American Standard

What is the water consumption per flush of the Town Square S 2851A104 toilet?

The toilet consumes 1.28 gallons (4.8 liters) per flush, meeting water conservation standards.

What type of seat comes with this model?

The model comes with a Right Height elongated seat for added comfort.

How to install the toilet on the existing flange?

Place the toilet bolts in the flange, install a wax ring around the outlet, then set the toilet aligning the bolts. Tighten the nuts alternately without overtightening to avoid damaging the porcelain.

How to adjust the water level in the tank?

Use the water level adjustment rod on the Fluidmaster fill valve. Turn it to raise or lower the float until the level reaches the mark indicated on the tank.

What to do if the toilet leaks at the base?

Check that the wax ring is properly installed and that the mounting nuts are tightened evenly. If the leak persists, remove the toilet and replace the wax ring.

How to clean the toilet without damaging it?

Use water and mild soap with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive powders, scouring pads, and chlorine-containing cleaners inside the tank, as they can damage internal components.

What is the recommended distance between the wall and the flange?

The distance should be 12 inches (305 mm) from the finished wall to the centerline of the flange for a standard installation.

How to replace the Fluidmaster fill valve?

Shut off the water supply, remove the old valve by unscrewing the inside locking nut. Install the new valve following the manufacturer's instructions. Use Fluidmaster replacement parts to ensure compatibility.

What to do if the flush is slow or insufficient?

Check that the refill tube is properly attached to the overflow and that the supply valve is fully open. Clean the flow regulator if debris is blocking the flow. Ensure water pressure is at least 20 psi.

Where can I find replacement parts for this model?

Replacement parts, including Fluidmaster valves, are available at plumbing retailers. Contact American Standard customer service in the US at 800-442-1902 or Canada at 800-387-0369 for more information.

METAL/COPPER FLARED TUBING CONE WASHER COUPLING NUT WATER SHUT-OFF

These parts must be used as illustrated to insure water-tight connection. Use of existing coupling nut may result in water leakage. Water supply tube or pipe must extend at least 1/2" inside threaded shank of valve (does not apply to flanged tubing).

METAL FLANGED TUBING EXISTING WASHER EXISTING COUPLING NUT WATER SHUT-OFF

Use existing coupling nut and washer.

CARE AND CLEANING

When cleaning your toilet, wash it with mild, soapy water, rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid detergents, disinfectants, or cleaning products in aerosol cans. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders or abrasive pads on your toilet seat. Some bathroom chemicals and cosmetics may damage the seat's finish.

WARNING: Do not use in-tank cleaners. Products containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage fittings in the tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage. American Standard shall not be responsible or liable for any tank fitting damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine (calcium hypochlorite).

LIFT ARM FIRST

IMPORTANT: Always clear sand and rust from system.

- Make sure water supply is off. Remove valve TOP by lifting arm and rotating top and arm 1/8 turn counterclockwise, pressing down slightly on cap.

- Replace TOP by engaging lugs and rotating 1/8 turn clockwise. MAKE CERTAIN TIP IS TURNED TO THE LOCKED POSITION. VALVE MAY NOT TURN ON IF TOP IS NOT FULLY TURNED TO THE LOCKED POSITION.

Always use quality Fluidmaster repair parts when maintaining your Fluidmaster products. Fluidmaster shall not be responsible or liable for any damages caused by products used with Fluidmaster valves that were not manufactured by Fluidmaster, Inc.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF FILL VALVE SHUTS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK SLOWLY, repeat Step 12.

IF FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AND ON DURING PERIODS OF NON-USE, it is a signal you are wasting water because:

• The end of the refill tube is inserted into overflow pipe, below water level in tank. Attach refill tube to overflow pipe using "S" clip provided.
• The flush valve is leaking because it's worn, dirty or misaligned with tank ball or flapper (replace with a new flapper).

IF FILL VALVE WON'T TURN ON OR SHUT OFF or REFILL OF TANK WATER IS SLOW after valve has been in use for some time, Fluidmaster Model 242 Replacement Seal may be needed.
