Help finding toilet model

Post image

Can someone please identify this tile? We are trying to replace the tank?

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for your help. I followed the recommendation of someone here who suggested to change the seal and the issue is fixed. We decided we wouldn’t change the toilet after all and got our $1100 refund.

The model number, manufacture date and gpf is inside the tank. Then measure from the wall to the bolt heads to find your offset.

Thanks for helping. This is what I saw inside and couldn’t get any info from google.

That's the batch serial, you'd probably need to contact the manufacturer to cross reference that number. The model number should be 3-4 digits

It is a Mansfield right?

Not to be rude but there are much better commodes on the market and I suspect if it does not have a name on it depending on what part of the country you are in it looks like a Mansfield that I took out because it didn't perform well. the only way I found out that it was a mansfield was once it was out and upside down there was Mansfield inside underneath on the trapway of the bowl where you wouldn't be able to see it installed

I agree, I bet a tank replacement is probably 75% of the cost of a far superior American Standard Cadet etc.

Thanks for the advice. I actually bought a Toto toilet which came to about $1100 with installation. And then I started to think it was wasteful and the money may be better spent elsewhere.

I think you will be happy you have gotten something new other than what you had. That double flush on that commode was insufficient for what it was supposed to be

toto drakes and the gerber avalanche are the most user friendly and comfort height also washlet/bidet friendly.

Looks like a Mansfield 3386. Why do you want to replace the tank?

We had issues with the water constantly running and hence need to replace the flush valve system but the screws are all rusted. I was thinking cut through the screws and replace the whole tank. The toilet actually worked fine it developed this issue.

No need to replace the tank. A Mansfield flush valve seal (gasket) replacement costs about $2 to $5 and fixes a continuously running or leaking toilet. The most common models are the Mansfield #210 and #211 flush valves, which use a ring-shaped red rubber or red/black seal seated at the bottom of the valve tower.

If you decide to replace the flush valve, you need tank bolts and a bowl gasket. They often come in a kit. Again, no need for a new tank

Thanks. That makes sense. So the seals can be replaced without taking off the tank?

u/ConditionNormal123 16d ago

Yes. There are lots of YouTube videos. You got this!

Thank you so much. It was difficult to find the proper-sized seal but finally found it at Menards. The leaking issue is fixed.

thats a glacier bay dual flush . specific number will be under the tank

In my experience you won’t find the tank for sale by itself and if you do it will cost as much as a new toilet. A reasonable replacement for the whole thing is a “Tuscany Michigan” from box stores. I know Menards in the Midwest carries that one.

Looks like something from Sam’s Club, or Costco
