This document is an installation guide for the Flow Max RV Toilet Seat Assembly Kit, manufactured by Lippert. The kit is designed to replace or install a toilet seat on a Flow Max RV toilet, ensuring proper fit and functionality.

Function Description:

The Flow Max RV Toilet Seat Assembly Kit provides all the necessary components to install a new toilet seat on a Flow Max RV toilet. It includes the lid and seat assembly, the toilet seat base, adjustable seat blocks, flathead screws, and expanding seat nuts. The assembly is designed for an elongated toilet, as indicated by the "Enlongated Seat Assembly Kit" description. The installation process involves removing the old seat components and securing the new seat base and lid assembly to the toilet bowl. The design incorporates a lever mechanism for easy removal and installation of the lid and seat assembly, facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

Important Technical Specifications:

The kit includes specific parts with their corresponding part numbers and quantities:

• Lid and Seat Assembly (Part A): Part number 2020221050, quantity 1. This is the main upper component of the toilet seat, including both the lid and the seat itself.
• Flathead Screw, 1/4-20 X 1.75 (Part B): Part number 2021106603, quantity 2. These screws are used to secure the toilet seat base to the toilet bowl. The specification "1/4-20 X 1.75" indicates a 1/4-inch diameter, 20 threads per inch, and a length of 1.75 inches.
• Adjustable Seat Block (Part C): Part number 2021106621, quantity 2. These blocks likely provide support and stability for the seat, and their adjustability might allow for a snug fit or minor alignment corrections.
• Toilet Seat Base (Part D): Part number 2020221051, quantity 1. This component serves as the foundation for the lid and seat assembly, attaching directly to the toilet bowl.
• Expanding Seat Nut, 0.72 X 1.50 (Part E): Part number 2021106608, quantity 2. These nuts are crucial for securing the flathead screws and the seat base to the toilet bowl, expanding to create a tight grip within the toilet's mounting holes. The dimensions "0.72 X 1.50" likely refer to the diameter and length of the nut in inches.

The kit is specifically identified as "Enlongated Seat Assembly Kit (2022121972)," confirming its compatibility with elongated Flow Max RV toilets. The revision date of the manual is 09.19.2023, and the document is identified as TI-478 CCD-0007863.

Usage Features:

The installation guide outlines a straightforward process for both removal of an old seat and installation of the new one.

• Easy Removal: The existing seat assembly can be removed by locating a lever at the back of the bowl, sliding it to the left to unlock, and then pulling the seat towards the front of the bowl. Flathead screws securing the seat base are then removed with a screwdriver. This design suggests a user-friendly mechanism for quick removal when needed.
• Simple Installation: The new seat installation involves placing the expanding seat nuts into the toilet bowl holes, followed by the toilet seat base and adjustable seat blocks. Flathead screws are then tightened to secure the base. Finally, the lid and seat assembly slides onto the installed base until a "clicking sound" confirms it is locked into place. This "slide-on" feature simplifies the final attachment of the seat.
• Compatibility: The guide explicitly states, "Only use FlowMax Seat Assembly Kit on the FlowMax Toilet to ensure it is the proper size and completely functional." This emphasizes the importance of using the correct kit for the specific toilet model to guarantee proper fit, function, and potentially, warranty coverage.
• Post-Installation Checks: After installation, users are advised to open and close the lid to ensure it closes completely over the seat and to "jiggle the seat to confirm that it is secure." These checks help verify correct installation and stability.

Maintenance Features:

While the document is primarily an installation guide, it implicitly supports maintenance through its design and instructions:

• Facilitated Cleaning: The removal process for the old seat, which involves sliding a lever and pulling the seat off, suggests that the new seat assembly is also designed for easy removal. This feature is highly beneficial for cleaning, allowing access to hard-to-reach areas around the toilet bowl and the underside of the seat, promoting better hygiene. The initial step of cleaning the old seat, toilet bowl, and rim before removal also highlights the importance of cleanliness in toilet maintenance.
• Replaceable Components: The kit provides a complete assembly, implying that if individual components of the seat (like the lid, seat, or base) are damaged, the entire assembly can be replaced using this kit. This ensures that users can maintain the integrity and functionality of their RV toilet seat over time.
• Adjustable Seat Blocks: The inclusion of "Adjustable Seat Blocks" (Part C) suggests a degree of flexibility in fitting the seat, which could help compensate for minor variations or wear over time, contributing to the longevity and stability of the seat.

In summary, the Flow Max RV Toilet Seat Assembly Kit is a comprehensive solution for installing or replacing an elongated toilet seat on a Flow Max RV toilet, designed with ease of installation, secure attachment, and maintenance in mind.
