Why is my newly installed toilet leaking?
Why is my newly installed toilet leaking?
Why is the toilet is leaking from the base? The leak is usually caused when the seal under the toilet fails. Wait until a new puddle appears on the floor, then check to make sure the water is seeping out from under the toilet and not coming from a loose supply tube, faulty shutoff valve, cracked tank or sweaty bowl.
Which is longer the Dometic toilet or Thetford toilet?
This is a 41′ 5th wheel.. The Dometic is longer front-to-back than the Thetford. Some of that distance is on the back side, between the toilet and the wall. We had a little over 10″ from the flange bolts to the wall, and the Dometic touches the back wall but fits.
Where is the handle on the Thetford C400 toilet?
On my motorhome’s Thetford C400 toilet the mechanism that links the operating handle to the blade-opening/closing knob on the cassette’s circular ‘plate’ is hidden above the roof of the cassette-locker, so not easily accessible to a leisure-vehicle owner.
Can a wood Shim be used to fix a leaking toilet?
Wood shims are not recommended because they can compress over time and are vulnerable to moisture damage. Start the repair by confirming that your toilet is not leaking. Check carefully for water around the base of the toilet. If water is not present, you can proceed with the repair.
What to do if you have a loose bolt on your toilet?
Do this carefully! Tightening the bolts too much can crack the brittle porcelain of the toilet, for which there is no repair. Check the flange bolt at each side of the toilet, using a pair of pliers or a small wrench. If a bolt is loose, tighten it slowly just until it is snug.

What causes the cassette on a toilet to jam?
When the Handle is moved from left to right on the toilet’s pedestal, the Saddle is rotated and, in turn, rotates the cassette’s orange blade-opener that causes parts inside the cassette to open the cassette’s blade. And when the Handle is moved back from right to left, the reverse happens and the cassette’s blade is closed.
