Dometic Gravity-Flush Toilet Installation / Operation
6.2 Toilet installation
1. To replace an older toilet, turn off water supply to toilet. Remove and drain water supply line.
Remove toilet hold-down bolts/screws. Remove toilet from oor. Remove and discard old oor
ange seal and hold-down bolts. Verify center of oor ange is at least 10 inches / 254 mm (for
model 310) or 11 inches / 279 mm (for model 320) from back wall (g.
3
A, page 3). Make sure
top surface of oor ange is clean and free of any debris or sealant.
2. If installing a new oor ange, make certain that toilet mounting holes are located at the correct
angle (g.
3
B, page 3). Floor ange must be secured to oor with a minimum of four screws
(8 is preferred). Insert two supplied T-bolts into slots in oor ange (g.
4
, page 3).
3. Verify that oor ange seal is installed on base of toilet (g.
5
A, page 3). Carefully set toilet
over oor ange. Align holes in toilet base with T-bolts as toilet is lowered onto oor ange.
Toilet must be aligned so that outlet of base ts inside of oor ange outlet hole.
Note
Entire toilet base does not rest completely on oor yet. Floor seal must be compressed in
following steps.
4. Install oor mounting nuts and washers onto T-bolts. Carefully torque nuts to 30-40 inch-
pounds. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Alternate between sides when tightening to prevent
distortion of base. When tight, base should be securely attached and at against oor.
Attach bolt covers onto nuts. (Fig.
5
B, page 3)
5. If toilet is being installed in a shower stall, apply a bead of caulk around base of toilet to prevent
water seepage under base.
6. Connect water supply line and torque connection to 30-40 inch-pounds.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig.
5
C, page 3)
7. Turn on water supply line. Flush toilet several times and check for leaks.
7 Operation
7.1 Add water to bowl
To add water to the toilet, press the ush pedal
part way down. Water ows into the bowl while
ush ball remains closed. If the ush ball moves,
let up on the pedal slightly. Adding water to an
empty bowl helps prevent holding tank odors from
entering the living space. Adding water is recom-
mended prior to ushing solids and toilet paper.
7.2 Flush toilet
To ush, press pedal down until it contacts the
oor. Release pedal after complete ush.
When ushing liquids, press the pedal for 1-2 seconds.
When ushing solids, press pedal until contents are rinsed from bowl. Flushing longer than
necessary will cause holding tank to ll too quickly.
A small amount of water will collect in the bowl after a ush to create an airtight seal.
Note
To prevent holding tank odors from entering the living space, make sure a small amount of
water remains in the toilet bowl.
Flush directions are located under
toilet seat lid.
