A little tricky to install but gets the job done

I fixed my leaking toilet, had all the parts I needed including new screws etc. Had to go online to get some instructions and Getting clues is, of course, a bit of a messy job, but definitely worth it if the alternative is getting a new toilet. It is very important to pay close attention when disassembling and removing old gaskets as some gaskets look very similar.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Thetford Starlite SL (old style flat blade)

The kit contained everything I needed to repair my very old Starlite SL flat blade (not round ball) toilet seal so that it did the Water held back into the toilet bowl. I will never order a set again next time, I will just replace the entire toilet, if I ever have to make one of these again, it's an agony and a chore trying to save a few bucks by making one renovating old toilet, not worth it.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Ideal for renovating a vintage toilet.

Repair kit fits my 1986 RV toilet well. The seals were a little thicker than needed which caused problems when the flush mechanism was closed. I used an electric sander to lightly sand the flap (the closer thing) which had ridges from years of use. Now it works great and cost me many times cheaper than a new toilet with installation. You can seriously do it yourself. I googled the youtube video and it was very easy.

Pros
  • Top marks for fit and durability from testers
Cons
  • Negative impression

There are lots of good videos on YouTube if you need help making a .

The repair kit worked well on my 30+ year old AquaMagic refurbished toilet. Note that the kit includes an additional 3" o-ring that was not part of the original toilet. There are many good videos on Utube if you need help assembling the blade mechanism. I also had to fix the water shut off valve as it didn't close completely and the bowl filled up overnight and almost overflowed.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost never

Maybe this will help DYIers like me. In the 15 years I've lived.

maybe it will help a craftsman like me. In the 15 years that I've lived permanently in my 32 foot Bounder, I've added 4 batteries, 4 solar panels and an inverter; Replaced the converter, water pump, fridge circuit board, faucet and old TV with a 40" HDTV, repaired several water leaks and re-sealed the EDPM roof. When the toilet stopped holding water in the bowl I was confident that I could replace the gaskets. Before ordering this kit I watched a YouTube video that made the job look easy. Butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • so far so good
