What can I use on the toilet bowl gasket to prevent water from draining out?
None of that grease available right now. Hozabout the spray stuff I use on the slide out boots? Or silicone spray? Vaseline petroleum jelly? Got those. Thank you.Plumber’s grease applied to the rubber seal.
Thanks for posting this! I was about to order a new seal, but now I don't have to. Under the topic of "amazing but true", we are currently at an RV Park in Mayer, Arizona. What are the odds?!?Dometic says:
Please follow the procedures below before attempting to replace the seal.
1. Hold flush ball in full open position by pressing on pedal.
2. Using finger, apply moderate downward pressure around edge of ball seal.
3. Close flush ball.
4. Keeping flush ball closed, pour one quart of hot tap water into toilet bowl.
5. Let water cool completely.
6. Check for leak.
I'd suggest putting the hot tap water in the bowl first, let it set for 30 seconds, then apply moderate downward pressure working your way around the edge of the seal.
The toilet bowl should be at room temperature before adding hot water. Don't do this when the toilet is cold.
