Need a little clarification. The ball valve in my Dometic 310 toilet has somehow developed a crack and no longer holds water. I called Dometic and was told the ball cannot be replaced, and that the whole toilet must be replaced. I am having trouble believing that. Can anyone shed a little light here?Thanks

I know the gaskets can be replaced, I've done that a few times. In my parts search for the gaskets, I don't recall ever seeing the ball as an available part. I have to admit, that I was focused on the gaskets, so I could be wrong....

YEP....absolutely TRUEBowl and base are factory sealed so no acess to ball valveThe 300 series toilets are throw aways. *a few parts can be replaced -- bowl seal, water valve, floor flange, seat But when it comes to ball valve --- NOPE!

This is true for the 310. You can get the seal but not the Ball mechanism. Doug

I'm so thankful to learn this now. I've been looking at these for a couple of years thinking the steep sides were ideal. I never found one in bone for a price I was willing to pay so I kept passing them by. Now, I'm happy I never bought one. What were they thinking?

“What were they thinking?”That they didn’t want to be in the toilet replacement parts business.
