We have a 2015 Keystone Cougar TT with a Dometic toilet. Must have not gotten all the water out of the valve and it froze and broke. I got a replacement valve and out it in. The old valve worked by stepping on it all the way to flush and part way to fill. The new valve opens the flush mechanism no matter how you step on the flush valve. Any suggestions?

IF you did not install those screws, it is possible that when attempting to gently push the pedal down, the valve is moving rearward slightly and that causes the water valve to not open until you push more firmly, which will open the Ball valve slightly. If you did install the screws and you did NOT fiddle with the Foot lever, then I would think the new valve is defective and you need to replace it. Doug
OK, that may be the issue. I did not install the screws because the old one did not have screws in it.

IF the model 310 which is what the Valve listed is for. You push down Slightly to fill and then all the way to open the ball valve and Flush. To the OP, There were 2 screws supplied with the new valve. Those screws are NEEDED to be installed after the original valve is replaced. They keep the valve secured in place as the original plastic clips will not hold the valve securely in place. This style replacement valve should NOT have affected the operation of the ball valve, but if you state that no matter how gently you push down, the ball valve opens, then I would remove the new Water Valve, put vaseline on the end of the stem going inside and then retry.

We had the valve break in the toilet in our mh, don't remember why/how, but were told that a new valve was not available, so we bought a new toilet. Then found and bought a new valve. So for the last couple of years we have a new RV toilet, still in box, sitting in our garage.
NO. that is not a valve. that's a "T" or to be more precise a :Y: fitting
Home was where I park it. but alas the. 2005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total loss after a semi "nicked" it. Still have the radios Kenwood TS-2000, ICOM ID-5100, ID-51A+2, ID-880 REF030C most times
Try lifting to fill. not pressing down. As I recall the 310/311 are supposed to lift to fill stomp to flush.

All the Dometic foot flush toilets I've seen you lift the foot flush lever UP with your toe to activate just the fill valve without opening the dump valve.
This is the valve
