Lavelle Industries Inc 3040BP 3 Inch Toilet Flapper

Product Description

The LAVELLE INDUSTRIES INC 3040BP is a 3-inch toilet flapper designed as a direct replacement for American Standard Cadet toilets. Manufactured from Red Chlorazone material, this flapper resists chlorine degradation, extending service life in applications where water chemistry would accelerate wear on standard rubber components. It carries a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this component during routine toilet repair, tank rebuild, or when a leaking flapper is identified as the cause of phantom flushing or continuous water flow into the bowl.

This flapper is engineered for use in residential toilet applications, specifically those using the American Standard Cadet platform with a 3-inch flush valve seat. It is a common replacement item during toilet maintenance calls, rental property turnovers, and water-conservation service work where older or deteriorated flappers are contributing to water waste. The unit is sold individually and arrives ready for standard no-tool installation.

Key Features

• 3-inch seating diameter matches American Standard Cadet flush valve geometry
• Red Chlorazone material resists chlorine and chemical degradation for extended service life
• 5-year manufacturer guarantee included
• Drop-in replacement requiring no special tools for installation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM-style replacement flapper for American Standard Cadet toilets equipped with a 3-inch flush valve.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer. Shut off the toilet supply valve and flush to drain the tank before removing the old flapper. Unhook the existing flapper ears from the flush valve pegs and disconnect the chain from the flush handle arm, then install the new flapper in reverse order. Verify the chain has adequate slack to allow full flapper seating without binding.
