Tapco 47148-0020A American Standard Cadet Tank Lever

Product Description

The TAPCO 47148-0020A is a toilet tank flush lever designed as a replacement for American Standard Cadet toilets. This handle assembly mounts to the tank and actuates the flapper or flush valve when the lever arm is pressed. Plumbers and service technicians install this part during routine maintenance or when the original lever becomes corroded, cracked, or disconnected from the flush chain. At 0.265 pounds, it is a lightweight, direct-service component suited for residential bathroom repair work.

This tank lever is intended for use on American Standard Cadet series toilets found in residential installations. It fits into standard tank configurations where the original OEM lever has failed or worn beyond serviceability. The lever arm connects to the flush chain or lift rod inside the tank, allowing the handle to raise the flapper and initiate the flush cycle. Service calls for a broken or stuck handle are among the most common toilet repairs in residential plumbing.

Key Features

• Direct replacement for American Standard Cadet toilet tank levers

Compatibility

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified service technician should shut off the water supply valve at the base of the toilet and flush to empty the tank before beginning work. The existing tank lever nut is typically reverse-threaded, so turn clockwise to loosen when viewed from inside the tank. Reconnect the flush chain to the new lever arm at the appropriate link to ensure proper flapper lift and full flush. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, when servicing toilet fixtures.
