American Standard Toilets Parts Finder

Q. "Are all American Standard® parts 'standard' and are ALL their products and parts made in America?"
A. A number of their products are made overseas (as is the case with many other plumbing manufacturers as well). Please do not assume that all products made by American Standard (Am. Stan.) are made in the U.S. The word "standard" and "American Standard®" are NOT identical. Most of their faucet parts will only fit their brand (as is the case with their competitors as well). Many of their toilet parts will only fit their brand of toilet. Not all of American Standard® parts are universal ("standard"). We get this question frequently, and it is probably because some people assume that since they have the word "standard" as part of their name that they must be using parts that are "standard"; as in universally fitting. Just as car bumpers don't fit on all brands of cars, parts for "standard" toilets and faucets will generally not fit on other brands. Generally you must buy parts specifically made for (designed to fit) your specific brand of toilet/faucets, etc.

Q. "How do I know which American Standard toilet I have?"
A. To identify the model of your American Standard toilet, there are several things you can try. First, if you have your original owner's manual, read over that paperwork as it often includes the model number and specifications. You can also check inside the toilet tank for a stamped or engraved model number, which is usually located on the back or sidewall. If the model number isn't apparent, consider identifying features such as shape, size, and design elements, and compare them to the American Standard lineup we show on our page. If all else fails, you can provide us with descriptions or photographs and we can see what we can figure out for you.
