Yes. This is the gasket I used on my 4092 toilet. In the end, I decided to use the pre-made template. Because the replacement bolts/washers were too large to fit through the tank holes, the existing bolts/washers were used instead.
Yes, it is a separate product; for more information, visit the American Standard website. According to my research, the leak could be caused by the washer that connects the two parts not being properly seated. Make sure the rubber washer is properly seated on the tank if it has hex sides.
No, you'll need the 738756-kit. 0070A. The Technical Team at American Standard
Yes, this is the Linear toilet's tank to bowl coupling kit.

Because I couldn't find the existing odd size 1/4" all brass bolt replacements from any of the usual suppliers (Home Depot, Lowes, etc. ), I ordered this for a Model "4083" at American Standard's recommendation (despite the fact that they were out of stock and suggested I check the internet if I needed it right away, which is how I ended up on Amazon). However, this kit came with standard 5/16" bolts, but it turns out that the tank and bowel holes were actually 5/16" as well, so no problem, but I'm not sure why they were installed with the smaller bolts in the first place. The really good news and important point is that the gasket that came with it is a precise fit for this tank/bowl combination, allowing complete and full seating of the tank onto the bowl, which is not possible with generic after market kits because those gaskets are not exactly the right size. Per the enclosed instructions, you must incrementally tighten each bolt until you achieve full seating and do not crack the tank, but once you do, you just know. The gaskets and rubber bolt washers, as well as the bolts and nuts, are all of the highest quality. Look for your 4-digit model number on the inside of your tank. If it meets the specifications of this kit, it's the only way to get an original factory-quality replacement. Furthermore, the cost is very low.
To replace my old center tank/bowl interface, I received and installed this kit. It fit perfectly, but the two bolts on either side that secure the tank to the bowl are crucial in two ways. (1) The bolts are used to connect the bowl and tank. (2) If you use too much torque on the bolts, the porcelain bowl or tank will crack, resulting in leakage. As a result, you must hope that the rubber gasket washers are thick enough to seal without requiring excessive torque, which could crack the porcelain. Mine, on the other hand, has begun to leak. I added silicone sealant around the heads to prevent more leakage rather than torqueing more and risking destruction. This is something that should be included in the instructions.
I had to replace the flapper on my old Cadet II (installed 2007), and I accidentally removed the bolts with the rubber seals, which I couldn't get back into the holes in the tank to reassemble it. These parts aren't available at my local big box store or plumbing supply, so I was relieved to find them here. The rubber seals are perfect, and there are no leaks or phantom flushes in the toilet. The only problem is that the rubber gaskets that come with the kit aren't compatible. Because I had new parts, I assumed I would replace everything, but the external gasket included in this kit is far too large. It's not a problem for me because I already have one, but it won't fit if you want to install it.
Gaskets in two sizes are included in the kit. My Antiquity elongated Model 4094 was able to use the smaller gasket. The washers also fit perfectly, and I had no problems reusing my bolts. I couldn't find the smaller gasket at Home Depot, so I'm glad Amazon has it. And, thanks to a quick response from an American Standard tech on the Amazon site who confirmed that this kit would work with my older toilet, I was able to purchase it from Amazon with ease.
In comparison to newer models, the American Standard Plebe tank has different size holes in the bottom. After doing some research, I discovered that this kit was the only one that could fix our tank leak, eliminating the need for a complete toilet replacement. Thank you, Amazon, for having this item in stock.
My 1989 American Standard toilet's flush valve needed to be replaced. I also noticed that some of the rubber washers on the tank's bolts had broken off. I didn't want to buy cheap replacements at a big box store. I went to a plumbing supply store and purchased higher-quality bolts, washers, and grommets. The seal around the tank's bolts continued to leak after installation. The bolts leaked regardless of how tight I tightened them. I looked up the toilet model number and discovered that this replacement kit was made specifically for my toilet. The bolt washers have an open nipple that improves the seal of the tank bolts. The old ones had the same nipple type of seal when I first took them out. In 10 minutes, I was able to replace the bolts, seals, and nuts. There should be no more leaks. It was well worth the $18 price tag.
They should sell the gasket on its own. That was all I required, but I didn't have a choice because I couldn't find it elsewhere. The tank is based on an American standard plebe from the 1970s, but it is now taller and looser. I don't want to over-tighten it to the point of breaking it. However, there have been no leaks. It resolved the issue. That is the only thing that concerns me. I'm not going to buy a modern water-saving toilet because it's a piece of garbage.
This is the correct kit for repairing a 1999 AS 4072 tank to bowl repair, according to the manufacturer. However, the grommet provided (yes, one) for the two bolts that connect the tank to the bowl was incorrect, so I used the old grommets with the two rubber flat washers provided. The correct grommets are tapered like a plastic hollow-core and fit securely through the 5/16" tank holes. a wall anchor that allows the bolts to thread through snugly Although there are no leaks in my toilet, I wish American Standard would include the necessary parts to repair it.
