Abstract
The replaceable flush valve seat assembly of the present invention comprises a circular seal which is engaged to and upon a sealing surface of a flush valve body within a tank of a toilet by a seat comprising a ring which fits over the seal and engages a circumferential lip of the flush valve body. Such seat assembly eliminates the need to dismantle a toilet to replace a flush valve body having a worn out seal surface.
