AMERICAN-STANDARD ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
If inspection of this American-Standard plumbing product, within one year after its initial purchase, confirms that it is defective in materials or workmanship,
American-Standard will repair or, at its option, exchange the product for a similar model.
This warranty does not apply to local building code compliance. Since local building codes vary considerably, the purchaser of this product should check with a
local building or plumbing contractor to insure local code compliance before installation.
This warranty shall be void if the product has been moved from its initial place of installation; if it has been subjected to faulty maintenance, abuse, misuse,

American-Standard be responsible for any other incidental or consequential damages attributable to a product defect or to the repair or exchange of a
defective product, all of which are expressly excluded from this warranty. (Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied
warranties, so this exclusion may not apply to you.)

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.
