I'm sure you guys have seen this post a million times. Here's a million and one!
I replaced this assembly cause there was a slow leak in the tank. It doesn't seem to have stopped the slow dripping sound I hear. There's no water outside the tank so I'm pretty sure it's dripping here.
Also, what are those 3 rubber plugs? I also replaced those since they came with the kit. Why are those even there in the first place? I thought maybe water might be leaking there but they seem pretty tight. The water seems to leak completely out, in other words, below where the flapper sits so I suspect it's the way the assembly is sitting. There doesn't appear to be any debris between the seal. Do I put putty at the seal?? Is it possible the shape of the tank itself is slightly curved and it won't sit right? Am I not tightening it down enough? I can push this thing down with my weight and still hear water trickling. Is this a low quality, off brand part and I need a name brand?
the part is from Greydock : FlushLine Replacement for American Standard 047107-0070A Flush Valve Assembly
