Plumb Shop Div Brasscraft 172-384 Flush Valve Actuator

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 172-384 is a replacement flush valve actuator designed to restore proper flushing function in toilets equipped with a compatible flush valve assembly. The actuator is the mechanical trigger component that initiates the flush cycle when the handle or button is engaged. When the original actuator cracks, warps, or loses tension, the flush cycle becomes unreliable or fails entirely. This part allows a plumber or experienced DIYer to restore flush operation without replacing the entire flush valve assembly, reducing both parts cost and labor time.

This actuator is suited for residential toilet repair applications. It is carded for retail and trade counter distribution, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing shops and service vans. The part is listed as compatible with American Standard toilets, making it a go-to replacement when servicing that brand in residential bathrooms. Install scenarios typically involve older toilets where the actuator has fatigued or broken at the pivot point.

Key Features

• Direct replacement actuator restores flush cycle without full valve assembly swap
• Compatible with American Standard flush valve assemblies
• Carded packaging suitable for trade counter or retail display
• Compact form factor fits standard residential toilet tank configurations

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve behind the toilet and flush to empty the tank before beginning work. Remove the tank lid and disconnect the existing actuator from the flush valve assembly before installing the replacement. Follow local plumbing code requirements, referencing IPC guidelines as applicable.
