SEC.14 PLUMBING SYSTEMS
R. TOILET
1. General
The toilet in the RV uses roughly three (3) quarts
(2.839 liters) of water per flush. This amount is
about ten times less than that of a residential toilet.
When flushing solids, additional water may be
needed to fully remove waste from the lines.
+ NOTICE
When flushing, ALWAYS continue to run water
for an extra 10-15 seconds after flushing.
If enough water is not used, pipes and tanks
may become clogged.
WARNING
NEVER use automotive antifreeze, windshield
washer anti-freeze, laundry detergents, or
other caustic chemicals as they are poisonous.
Although these products may have deodorizing
capabilities, they are damaging to the
components within the plumbing system
and are toxic if ingested.
2. Preventing Toilet Blockage
• Before using the toilet, ensure there is sucient
water in the toilet, approximately 4-6 inches (10.16-
15.24 cm). This can be accomplished by flushing
the toilet several times until water is present.
• Use RV grade, single-ply toilet paper.
• Never flush baby wipes, disposable wipes,
or any other foreign objects down the RV toilet
(i.e., hygiene products, feminine products,
cleaning wipes, paper towels, diapers).
3. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Clean the toilet on a regular basis.
• Use tank treatments to clean the black
tank when needed.
• Applying petroleum jelly when needed to the
toilet ball valve to provide waterproof lubrication
without damaging other seals.
+ NOTICE
Never use chlorine or other abrasive solutions
in the RV toilet (i.e., laundry bleach, chemical
drain openers). These products will DAMAGE
the seals in the toilet and dump valves.
+ NOTICE
It is vital to prevent solid buildup in the drain lines
and black tank. Follow the toiletmanufacturer’s
manual for instructions and maintenance
information.
