Jones Stephens 1897 Spud Gasket 2 X 1.5 Inches

Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS 1897 is a spud gasket designed to create a watertight seal between a toilet tank and bowl at the spud connection point. This rubber gasket seats around the flush valve spud and compresses to prevent leaks when the tank bolts are tightened. It is a standard replacement component in residential and light commercial toilet repair work, typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians. The 1897 measures 2 inches on the outer dimension and 1.5 inches on the inner dimension, fitting flush valve spuds of corresponding size.

This gasket is used in toilet tank-to-bowl repairs where the original spud gasket has deteriorated, cracked, or begun to leak. It is suited for residential bathrooms and light commercial restroom applications where a 2-inch by 1.5-inch spud connection is present. Plumbers performing tank reseals, flush valve replacements, or routine toilet rebuild work will encounter this fitting size across a wide range of two-piece toilet designs.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply and flush the tank fully before beginning work. Remove the existing spud gasket and clean the seating surface before installing the new gasket to ensure a proper seal. Do not overtighten tank bolts, as excessive force can crack porcelain tank or bowl components.
