Question 1

Can someone please explain the difference in the 3 spots you can attach the chain ?  and the numbers on the float ?  thanks

Accepted Answer

A: It comes with the chain attached to position 3 (center). The instructions don’t say to move the chain from position 3 but i found the recommended measurement for my American standard to have less slack after I moved it to position 1. A needle nose pliers worked well to move the chain off of 3 and onto 1. I also found the flush handle a little easier to operate on position 1 vs 3. The tank released the same amount of water at both positions so I think the flush handle resistance is the only thing affected by the 3 positions in the float.

Question 2

need replacement flapper 7381193-200-0070A 
Are there other brands that fit also?

Accepted Answer

There are universal brands such as Korky but, in the past, I've tried them and they never seem to fit right. This was the first time I found the exact number to my flapper and it worked perfectly without having to fuss with it. Actually, this one is labeled Fluidmaster as was the one I replaced that came with the toilet. Since this one worked so well, I'd recommend getting it instead of the universal one.

Question 3

Have they improved the seal on this product?

Accepted Answer

The seal appears to be the same as on the original installed 10/14/2016. It lasted 4 years and 2 months before developing a slow leak. I never could identify a cause. There were no tears, no visible deposits, but it appeared to be less flexible. So I replaced it with a new identical  flapper unit. The new one works fine. If it only lasts 4 years, I might try a different brand. But this one delivers a perfect flush.

Question 4
