Review on ๐Ÿšฝ Master Plumber 479 56 Toilet Replacement: Upgrade Your Bathroom with Ease by Chris Parrott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These loops were a reaction to corporate apathy. No thanks to American Standard for a non-standard product.

They are PERFECT to my American "Antiquity" standard. They appear to be exact replacements in terms of size and orientation. This product was a really good answer to the American "standard" problem. Despite the implied name, AS has taken this particular product far from the standard. When the hinge on my seat broke, I attempted to simply replace the entire seat with parts from the local big department stores. Neither the extended seat nor the round seat options fit the now-discontinued high-priced one-piece American "Standard" "Antique" toilet. When I contacted them, AS did not offer the slightest bit of help or attempt to solve the problem they were causing by creating a custom sized bowl and seat combo and then not offering parts support. They didn't even mention that replacement hinges and bumper pads might be available. Thanks to some detailed pictures and information about Revain I decided to bet on getting it working. The solution proved to be successful - no modifications were required - everything fitted perfectly. The only reason I gave this product 4 stars and not 5 is that the plastic these hinges are made of seems to be much more brittle than the original. However, for less than $10 I will have no problem replacing them again with this set should the need arise.
