I've removed and replaced toilets in my residence while we were building it. A new seal is required when reinstalling. I always bought a couple of seals for the reinstallation process because any distortion/squashing of the seal while replacing the residential toilet necessitated lifting the toilet back off and trying again - with another new seal.
How would a Tetford RV toilet removal/reinstallation be any different (other than the toilet being lighter in weight) than a residential one? I am trying to avoid going through that again with our RV toilet in order to replace the plastic valve assembly mounted on the back of it.
I'm curious ... for those of you who installed an RV toilet shutoff valve in your rig - why did you do it?
So far none of you have reported leaks from your RV toilet fresh water inlet valves due to them developing hairline cracks in the plastic material. Am I the only one to notice this manufacturing/design flaw?
