Questions & Answers
It is true that my kit came with all parts for the water valve, however, a tip is to give it a thorough examination when taking it apart. Upon looking at the foot pedal you can find where the spring and valves have to be seated to make it work.
I still have the style II kit, and it fits perfectly
The kit comes with a toilet gasket, a toilet valve, and a toilet retainer as shown in the picture. In the event that you do not have to remove the toilet from the floor flange, only the two white parts will be needed.
Thank you for your reply. If 42141 is a reverb kit, then all of it is included. Yours sincerely, Johnerin

If you are going to reassemble it, you must learn how it works. It all comes down to a tiny spring that keeps a rubber valve closed so that none of the water runs when the pedal is not pressed. Eventually, it wears out and has to be replaced after a few years. You can do it pretty easily. If you have a flashlight, make sure you can see the diagram clearly. Once you have the old parts out, you might want to reassemble them so you can see how the retaining ring keeps the water valve in place, otherwise you might have an accident like I did, but I brushed it up, went back and took my time reassembling An improvement would be to make the diagrams larger and more detailed.
The Style Plus toilet has the 34100 valve that causes the shaft to leak water directly Due to the way the Style II valve does not completely close, water drips into the bowl until it overflows onto the floor. In the case of a slow leak, if you fail to pay attention, you will end up with a mess. When you lift the flush handle with your toe, you will usually find it easier to do so. Over the last three years, I have had to replace this valve twice. There are no toilets in Thetford that I like.
As I have had to replace my Thetford Style II toilet's valve three times in the past four years, I suspect that it may be defective. I had enough room to work without having to remove the toilet itself, which means the replacement process took only five minutes. Afterwards, I replaced the valve assembly and the toilet worked as it should for the next 10 years There have been 11 months since the last update. Someday, I might have to replace the toilet, but for now, I can fix it myself for a considerable savings. Thetford Style II toilet was replaced in May 2016 after it had finally started giving me problems. There had to have been a small defect in the valve casing, the reason for my suspicion. Since the replacement toilet was installed in April 2019, it worked properly. A sticky flush valve action and water leaking out of the bowl resulted in the same problem. As long as I had the kit I had purchased three years earlier, I installed it and had no A few years of wearing out the spring and little rubber seal leads to them becoming worn out. I will order another kit just in case.
The plumber fixed my toilet without any fuss and fixed a small leak in the valve. My toilet had sat for too long and had a slow leak. I was able to solve the problem completely using this kit. Initially, I did not think I needed the lower seal, but I did and it was handy to have since this valve is easier to repair on a bench. The valve fix CAN be done in place, but I suggest that it be taken out of the motor and placed on a bench. It is easier to use and there are fewer chances of breaking tabs or.
This is a good set of instructions. It would be better if the illustrations were improved. There are no clear images of how the parts are put together. It is important to look closely at how the original part was assembled when you disassemble it. Do not let the toilet run, as you will have a big mess and have to uninstall it yet again if you don't.
Before installing the o ring and gasket again, you'll need to lubricate the rubber. The product is great! I would purchase it.
Almost immediately after it was built, leaks began to occur. That is a very poor quality product. It might be easier to just buy a new toilet (of another brand) next time. It would have been more cost effective to replace the toilet with a new one after having changed so many. Seeing a different result after doing the same thing makes me wonder what is wrong with me.
A water purification system is in place The part was specified in the description as being the correct part for the magic toilet. As far as I know, the part would As soon as we installed it, the leak started. This rubber object is designed to - Using the original part, the leak was sealed. The ring was too small, so we applied the original part. This was a very good deal. The rest of the new parts we could use later on. It is a good idea to double-check that this part works with.
