Questions & Answers
There is evidence to suggest that this replacemetn water valve is compatible with the 300, 310, and A quick search on Google led me to the domestic 310 parts list, from there I went to the domestic parts list. I wish you the best of The best part is, it's accessible and easy to replace, even when It takes time for the prongs to loosen but eventually they will.
Similar to yours, mine also did this. My mistake was that I did not put the screw into hold the valve in place when I installed it. It took me no more than one screw to fix the problem. When I flush my toilet, water ends up in the bowl.
This valve does not have a thread size. There is a clamp on the supply line. Toilet valves like this are used in public restrooms.
The stickiness has not been an issue for me.

In short, yes. . . . and now, this part is leaking, it froze, you have to deal with it, it is annoying, there is little room to work, and you might overtighten it It 'snaps in' (which is a bad thing), it is easy to break the toilet itself (also bad), and there is some thread compound that is required for installation (Rectorseal 23631). Replacing the overflow tube is part of "spring cleaning. " As soon as the temperature drops below freezing, the valve will ice and leak unless you have drained all the water in your system before you leave your trailer. *When you put anti-virus software in your computer As long as you freeze the bowl, the drain seal will remain intact. This valve, however, will not benefit from freezing. The low point drain will be open when the pedal is pushed down. Hold it down until the water dries. Keep holding it down for at least 15 more seconds. I want it to You should hold it down another 15 seconds after that. The valve will survive a frozen-thawed cycle if you're lucky enough to have black water gods watching over you. There is not much smile in the faces of the gods.
To replace this, you will need a flat blade screwdriver, a pair of channellocks, a lot of paper towels, and the understanding that you will probably use foul language. In total, it takes 30 minutes to do it the first time, 15 minutes the second.
I know it seems ridiculous to pay $34 for a piece of plastic, but if your toilet is freezing, you have no choice. We had a hairline crack form on the threaded stem of our faucet, resulting in tried to drain everything as much as we could, but if you want my advice, you should remove the whole part for the winter. It only takes a few minutes to install, even though I had to remove the toilet to access the pinch release on the bottom. Luckily, that is just a couple of If you need to use your toilet once winterized, you can run it dry and just use a pitcher of water. There seems to be no reason why things cannot be designed better for draining and/or freezing. If your goal is to sell $4 parts for $5, you can do that but not with this.
There are decent instructions that come with it, and you can check the part number from the When trying to get the part number (or manual) from the Dometic website, it can be very There is a considerable cost associated with this piece of equipment at our local RV dealers.
Ordering stuff like this always worries me that I am ordering the wrong thing. On the lid of my RV's toilet, it does say Dometic, but there are no tags with a model number. Using the picture and model number on Amazon, I checked to make sure this was the valve I was looking for. The toilet can be purchased there, so I searched the site for the entire toilet. Things worked out well in the end. The valve was snapped into place after it was snapped in. In the original I removed, there was no screws that held the lower clip in place, so I needed to insert the lower screw while installing this one. We provided the screw and it was easy to screw in since it felt like it was threaded. At this time, the valve appears to be functioning well.
As expected, this part was an exact replacement. As long as you have easy access to the back of the toilet, you can simply replace the part. This valve was screwed into the back of the toilet and was held in place Unscrew, pop it out, disconnect the two water lines, and reinstall it the other way around. In the event that you have to remove the toilet in order to access this valve, it is an easy process. It is my understanding that these valves are not terribly durable and crack easily if there is water in them when there is a freeze, which is likely what happened to ours. As a result, when winterizing the system, it is essential to drain the water. To keep on hand if need be, I plan to get a spare.
The replacement was perfect, but the design was flawed. They are the same design for years, yet many are also replaced every winter when the water freezes. They don't fully drain. It would be a simple design change to prevent freezing and spare consumers a lot of headaches. That would lead to a decrease in sales. A simple business practice that is sad.
This part cost 56 dollars at the trailer dealership. They also wanted 150 dollars to install it. Changing the toilet took about one hour. In the beginning I had to remove the toilet, snap in this part, and replace it. I'd take that over a 200 or more dollar bill any day.
The Dometic RV toilet 300 series can be fitted with this part. We used the clamp to attach the outflow water line, then attached the incoming water line. The two screws were not necessary, it just snapped into place. Took about 3 minutes to install. There is no easier way to do it. We forget to flush the toilet when winterizing, which resulted in RV antifreeze being injected into the water line. Replaced with this and it fits perfect, works better than the original, and is more water-efficient than the original. There is no leakage. I hope I will not have to buy another one, but if I do, I will have made the easiest RV fix I have ever encountered.
