American Standard Champion 4 toilet short flush fix
This video shows how to fix the short flush annoyance of the American Standard Champion 4 toilet flushing system.
Its as simple as extending the fill tube length using a 1" PVC pipe coupling and adjusting the float height as high as it will go. It's a tight fit requiring careful application of a fair amount of downward pressure and wiggling to get it to slide on and it will only slide on about 1/4" at most.
Total cost .50 cents time to install 2 minutes.
Background:
Water waste during toilet flushing is a huge problem.
And we all believe more water means better flushing as the evidence disappears down the hole.
The Champion 4 toilet has one of the largest exit pipes in the market and through clever design has managed to improve flushing efficiency and performance.
But, when what you want gone, is still there after a flush, you don't want to have to start explaining or asking someone why.
In general more water and longer flush equals more pressure and better flushing. It's the only thing you can control and they are doing everything they can to stop you unless you want to try a new toilet.
This fix will keep everyone in the house happy when they see the toilet flush like they expect it too.
Enjoy

      The blue gaskets on these Champion 4 toilets never fail to fail. They develop little blisters which allows water to drain out of the tank. In the last nine years I have had to replace them more than a dozen times. I have run out of patience and will replace with a Nuflush valve the next time it happens.

    I have an older off brand 3/4 (water saver) flush toilet, never done any repairs 15 years, the American Standard is a piece of expensive junk we have had to replace the flush valve/washer twice in the last two years and leaks constantly! I always have to flush it at least twice when there is Biden in it, so am I "saving water", I don't think so. But on a positive side this seems to do the trick, but this is last high dollar toilet I ever buy!

    There isn't a problem with the Champion toilet, it's the people flushing them. All that's needed is a split second of patience. When you flush hold the lever down for a split second before releasing hand pressure. In the video he lets go too fast before the water can leave the tank. These toilets cut my water bill by 40%, this "fix" will not help you.

If I put the chain on 1, instead of how it comes from the factory on 3, does that also prolong the flush???

    Thank you for posting this video. After 6 years my 1.6 gallon flush started having incomplete flushes so I bought an adjustable flapper which had a dial from 1 to 10 and I tried every setting and still had incomplete flushes. I added 1/4 inch to the stand pipe and that fixed the problem.

  • @MichaelDiethelm-mo6pu

    May God have mercy on the soul of the engineer(s) who designed the monstrosity that is the fluid master model 540 flapper valve I have never seen something so overly designed and complicated aaaand non functioning in all my years of repairing, replacing, and installing toilets. The fact that these valves have been added to low volume toilets from American Standard which are absolute pieces of junk makes the effects of this horrible product even worse. How does a low flow toilet help the environment when you have to flush it three times 3.72 gallons total to do what a 1.6 gallon toilet to dispose even a moderate sized duece with a light wipe. That’s about all I have to that……Arrggghhhhh!!

    What is the purpose of the 3 different chain connection points on top of the flapper? With my Fluidmaster 540 set on 10, a 1/2" of slack in the chain when closed, and the chain attached to the connection closest to the overflow tube, the flapper still slams shut before the tank empties into the bowl thus giving an unsatisfactory flush. I noticed in the video something surrounding the chain near the flapper. Was this some sort of float and would a float help to keep the flapper open longer?

      I made one. You can use any plastic pipe that is just slightly too small. Bore it out. I actually found a food scooper that was about that size, hogged out the bottom of it and rtv'd it on. If you have a digital caliper, measure the diameter of the pipe, then go get something close, if it is slightly oversized you can fill it in with silicone. Permatax water pump adhesive would probably be a good thing to use in that situation if you have a gap to fill. A little tube of it is only a few dollars
