What size tank is AS 4040?

helpneeded · May 1, 2009

Hi,

Just stumbled upon this forum and think its such a great service you are providing to all us novice's. Thanks!

My question is that I'm replacing an old AS toilet and the tank has code 4040 on it. Can anyone tell me if that is a 13L toilet or not? The reason I ask is because our city gives us rebates if we replace old 13L or 20L ones with 6L or less ones. Do you need more info?

Thanks!

It is the American Standard Plebe 13l tank.

The date would be more important, but it is either before or after 1993 since it is not listed in the catalog for that year. But most relevent is that someone is looking for a Ming Green with that model number which would almost certainly put it in the 60's or 70's at the latest.

The Plebe 6L was part number 4012, so if it's a part number 4040 then it would be a 13L.

Ming Green, now that was a awesome color right up there with Harvest Gold.

Thanks everyone one for your responses and help. I checked the tank again and it was manufactured in 1986 and no mine isn't Ming Green Ha!
