I have toilet that leaks.
After replacing virtually everything not made of china/porcelain, I discovered that the bowl-to-tank gasket(BTG) I installed might be a bit to short
The BTG installed was 1 1/8", apparently Gerber's need a different product....
.....ok.....so....how thick?
Navigating the Gerber site was like hiking at midnight with no moon...I discovered the above using Google.
Searching google again, the thickest BTG I found weighed in at a whooping 1 3/16"!
Is that 1/16" going to solve all my toilet issues?
This toilet has a stamp of Feb. 1987 in the tank....and a Gerber sticker still on the side exterior
Any help will be appreciated.
TIA!

How can a leak located around the tank to bowl bolt be eliminated?
3. Check the condition of the thick rubber tank to bowl gasket. This is the gasket that encompasses the tank discharge hole and the large assembly nut. Gerber tank to bowl gaskets are thicker than what is commonly found in hardware or home improvement stores.
