Frequently Asked Questions - 321 DOMETIC

How to add water to the bowl?
To add water, press the flush pedal partially. Water flows into the bowl while the flush ball remains closed. Release if the ball moves.
How to flush correctly?
Press the pedal all the way to the floor. For liquids, hold for 1-2 seconds; for solids, hold until complete evacuation. A small amount of water will remain in the bowl for sealing.
What if water does not stay in the bowl?
This may be due to a misaligned, deformed, or dirty flush ball seal. First try reconditioning by pressing the pedal and conforming the seal to the ball. If the problem persists, clean or replace the seal.
How to clean the flush ball and its seal?
Press and release the pedal several times to loosen deposits. For deep cleaning, use a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleaner such as SeaLand or any toilet bowl cleaner. Clean the top of the ball and under the seal.
How to winterize the toilet?
Two methods: 1) Add non-toxic antifreeze (propylene glycol) to the fresh water tank and flush several times. 2) Shut off water supply, disconnect the line, empty water by pressing the pedal, and leave the line disconnected until frost danger is past.
What to do in case of water leak at the base of the toilet?
Check that the floor mounting bolts are properly tightened (torque 30-40 in·lb). If the leak persists, the floor flange seal may be worn; replace it following the installation procedure.
How to replace the water valve?
Turn off water supply, disconnect the line, then remove the water valve assembly. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement valve. Do not disassemble the bowl from the base.
What cleaning products are recommended?
Use non-abrasive bathroom or toilet bowl cleaners, preferably SeaLand cleaner. Avoid chlorine, bleach, and chemical drain openers that damage seals.
Is the toilet covered by warranty?
Yes, a limited warranty is offered. Visit www.dometic.com/warranty or contact Dometic customer service at 1 800 544-4881 (US and Canada). For other regions, statutory warranty applies.
Where can I purchase replacement parts?
Replacement parts are available from Dometic dealers or authorized service centers. See the full list at www.dometic.com. When ordering, have the model number located on the label under the water valve.

2.6 Installation Requirements

This manual will help you replace an existing toilet. To create a new location for your new toilet, contact a qualified service professional.

Verify that your existing toilet:

  • Has a flexible water supply line coming through the floor or wall. If the line comes out of the floor, you will need an elbow adapter kit.
  • Is attached to the floor with two bolts that are perpendicular to the back wall.

- If there are four bolts, you will need a Universal Mounting Kit, in the appropriate color.

- If you are changing the toilet orientation (the angle of the toilet to the room), you can use a Universal Mounting Kit, or remove the floor flange and install a new one in your preferred orientation.

- Is level with the floor. If the flange is installed in the sub-floor, you may need a taller seal than the one provided.

Make sure there is enough space for your new toilet. Compare the dimensions for your model listed in "Toilet Dimensions" on page 4 to the measurements listed in "Minimum Space Requirements" on page 5. Verify:

  • The rough-in size (from the centerline of the flange to the back wall)
    • The door swing clearance

- That the foot pedal, when depressed, will touch the same flat surface on which the toilet is installed.

For a more pleasant installation day, empty the holding tank before you begin.

10 Securing the New Toilet

① Floor Flange

② Water Supply Line

  1. Align the holes in the toilet base with the floor mounting T-bolts (EE) as you lower the toilet (AA) onto the floor flange.

Be sure the entire outlet drain of the toilet base fits inside the floor flange outlet hole to avoid leaks.

The toilet base might not rest evenly against the floor yet. The floor flange seal (FF) will compress as you complete the following steps.

  1. Place the new floor mounting washers (DD) and then the new floor mounting nuts (CC) onto the floor mounting T-bolts (EE).

  2. Tighten the floor mounting nuts (CC). If a torque wrench is available, tighten them to 30–40 in. Ib (3.4–4.5 N·m). Do not overtighten. Alternate between sides when tightening to prevent distortion. When the floor-mounting nuts (CC) are tight, the base of the toilet (AA) should be securely attached and flat against the floor.

  3. Attach the floor mounting caps (BB) onto the floor mounting nuts (CC).

If the toilet (AA) is being installed in a shower stall (or other wet area), apply a bead of caulk around the base of the toilet to prevent water seepage under the base.

  1. Connect the water supply line and torque the connection to 30–40 in. Ib (3.4–4.5 N·m). Do not overtighten.

If the water supply line comes out of the floor, install a 1/2 in. (13 mm) elbow fitting or adapter.

  1. Turn on the water supply.

  2. Flush the toilet several times and check for leaks. Refer to "Flushing the Toilet" on page 9.

  3. Test for leaks by filling the bowl with water and letting it sit for an hour.

4 Operation

This section provides instructions on the proper use of these gravity-flush toilets.

4.1 Adding Water to the Bowl

Adding water to an empty bowl helps prevent holding tank odors from entering the living space. Adding water is recommended prior to flushing solids and toilet paper.

Diagram illustrating a water filtration or seepage process with labeled components and directional arrows indicating flow direction.

11 Partially Depressing the Flush Pedal

① Flush Pedal

  1. To add water to the toilet, depress the flush pedal part way. Water flows into the bowl while the flush ball remains closed.
  2. If the flush ball moves, let up on the pedal slightly.

4.2 Flushing the Toilet

NOTICE: Flush only water, bodily wastes, and rapid-dissolving toilet tissue. Do not flush foreign objects. Do not flush wet wipes, sanitary napkins, diapers, paper cups, cotton swabs, food, hair, or liquids such as oils or solvents. Failure to follow these instructions could cause clogging or damage to the toilet or the toilet system.

Diagram illustrating a water filtration or filtration process with labeled components and directional arrows indicating flow direction.

12 Fully Depressing the Flush Pedal

① Flush Pedal

  1. To flush, depress the pedal until it contacts the floor.
  2. Release the pedal after a complete flush.

- When flushing liquids, depress the pedal for approximately 1–2 seconds.

- When flushing solids, depress the pedal until the contents of the bowl rinses from the bowl. Flushing longer than necessary will cause the holding tank to fill too quickly.

A small amount of water will collect in the bowl after a flush to create an airtight seal.

Residual water trickle in the ceramic bowls: Due to the integrated rim of the models 310, 311, 320, and 321 toilets, water may continue to trickle into the toilet bowl for up to 20 minutes after flushing. If the water trickle continues after 30 minutes, replace the water valve. Refer to “Replacing the Water Valve” on page 14.

So that holding tank odors do not enter the living space, make sure 1 in. (24 mm) of water remains in the toilet bowl. Depending on the plumbing system and user operation, adding water may be required to achieve this water depth. Refer to "Adding Water to the Bowl" on page 9.

5 Maintenance

Properly cleaning, winterizing, and maintaining your toilet will increase its lifespan.

NOTICE: If this toilet ever requires service, read the following statements before servicing the product. Failure to follow these guidelines can cause product damage and can void your warranty coverage:

  • Do not separate the ceramic bowl from the plastic base. Unlike other Dometic foot-pedal toilets, the bowl and base of the 300, 310, and 320 series toilets should not be separated for any reason.
  • Do not remove the foot pedal from the base. This toilet has a factory-sealed bowl-to-base assembly.
  • Do not disassemble the components.
  • Refer to this manual and replacement kit instructions for maintenance and service information.

The toilet does not need to be removed from the vehicle (or unfastened from the floor) for basic repairs, like the flush ball seal replacement and water valve replacement.

If you need to call Dometic for assistance, have the exact model number available. Refer to "Model Identification" on page 4.

5.1 Serviceable Parts

For stubborn stains on model 300 and 301 toilet bowls, carefully use rubbing alcohol to wipe and remove the stain.

5.4 Cleaning the Flush Ball and Seal

After a period of time, mineral deposits from hard water may build up on the flush ball or seal, resulting in a slow water leak. To prevent this, periodically clean the flush ball and seal.

Diagram of a toilet with labeled parts, showing internal components and a downward arrow indicating flow or movement.

14 Cleaning Debris from the Flush Ball Seal

① Flush Ball Seal

② Flush Pedal

  1. Remove minor debris from the flush ball and seal by slowly depressing and releasing the flush pedal several times. This will loosen and rinse debris from the surfaces. Repeat several times for stubborn buildup.
  2. If step 1 does not fully clean the ball and seal, clean with a soft bristle brush and SeaLand toilet bowl cleaner.

– Fully clean the top of the flush ball and under the seal where it contacts the flush ball.

- After cleaning the underside of the seal, apply light, downward pressure to the top of the seal while brushing around the full perimeter of the seal.

If the ball pivot arm becomes dislodged while cleaning inside the base beneath the flush ball and seal, re-engage it into the pivot point. Refer to Figure 16 for the location of the pivot point.

If this procedure does not correct a leaking seal, it may require replacement. Detailed replacement instructions are included with the replacement flush ball seal kits.

5.5 Winterizing and Storing the Toilet

DOMETIC 321 - Winterizing and Storing the Toilet - 1

WARNING: POISON HAZARD.

Do not use automotive-type antifreeze (ethylene glycol) in freshwater systems. Failure to obey this warning could result in death or serious injury:

DOMETIC 321 - WARNING: POISON HAZARD. - 1

CAUTION: BODILY HARM HAZARD.

This toilet is not intended for use when exposed to temperatures below freezing. Failure to obey this caution could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE: The toilet warranty expressly excludes coverage for any damages to the toilet or the vehicle that may occur due to improper winterization of the toilet. Freeze damage that results in leaks to the water valve is an indicator of improper winterization.

5.5.1 Preventing a Frozen Water Valve

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with numbered components, likely a valve or pump component.

15 Identifying a Damaged Water Valve

① Freeze Damage

② Water Valve Damage

These toilet water valves exceed the applicable standards for maximum water pressure as defined by the North American plumbing code agencies. However, if trapped water freezes in the piping that supplies water to the toilet, it expands and creates extremely high pressure that can damage the valve.

If the freeze damage indicator window (1) has white stress marks, it indicates freeze-damage. Water valve damage is due to severe exposure to below-freezing temperatures.

To avoid damage, winterize the toilet as described in this manual. If freeze damage occurs as a result of improper winterization, replace the water valve with a 300/310/320 series toilet water valve kit.

If the water valve is returned for a warranty claim, Dometic reserves the right to deny the claim if the problem is caused by freeze damage.

Use nontoxic antifreeze (propylene glycol) designated for potable water systems (See the vehicle owner's manual).

When a toilet may be exposed to temperatures below freezing, the toilet must be winterized using the "Non-toxic Antifreeze Winterization Method" on page 12 or the "Drain Water from the Toilet Method" on page 13. When a toilet is stored for long periods of time, or the water becomes stagnant, flush the system using the "Drain Water from the Toilet Method" on page 13.

5.5.2 Non-toxic Antifreeze Winterization Method

This is the recommended method.

  1. Pour non-toxic antifreeze into the potable water tank according to the instructions from the antifreeze manufacturer.
  2. Flush the toilet (several times) until the antifreeze has flowed completely through the toilet.

For toilets with a hand sprayer, the hand sprayer must be turned on for antifreeze to cycle through the sprayer.

5.5.3 Drain Water from the Toilet Method

  1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet.

16 Removing the Water Supply

① Water Supply Line

③ Small Bucket

② Water Inlet Valve

④ Pivot Point for the Ball Pivot Arm

  1. Remove the water supply line from the water valve.
  2. Place a small bucket under the water valve inlet to catch draining water.
  3. Depress the flush pedal and allow water to completely drain from the water valve and vacuum breaker.
  4. Leave the water line disconnected until the threat of freezing temperatures is past.

NOTICE: Do not leave the RV unoccupied for extended periods of time with a municipal water supply connected, or with the onboard water pump turned on, when there is a possibility of freezing temperatures.

5.6 Replacing the Water Valve

Refer to the detailed replacement instructions in the water valve replacement kit before removing or installing a water valve assembly.

① Water Inlet Valve Assembly

In cold climates, be sure to follow the winterizing procedure in this manual to help avoid water valve failure.

5.7 Reconditioning the Flush Ball Seal

Each toilet is factory-tested to assure a watertight seal in the toilet bowl. This quality-assurance testing process requires a device to hold the flush ball open, which may temporarily distort the flush ball seal from its original shape. As a result, it may cause the flush ball seal to leak water into the holding tank during normal use.

If you discover a water leak into the holding tank, recondition the flush ball seal into its original shape.

Diagram of a toilet with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating installation or repair steps

18 Reconditioning the Flush Ball Seal

① Flush Ball Seal

② Flush Pedal

  1. Depress the pedal to hold the flush ball open, then lightly press down around the edge of the seal with a finger to conform the seal to the flush ball.
  2. Release the pedal.
  3. Keeping the flush ball closed, pour 1 qt (0.9 L) of hot tap water into the toilet bowl.
  4. Let the water cool completely.

If the toilet does not hold water in the bowl, refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 15 before you replace the flush ball seal.

5.8 Replacing the Flush Ball Seal

Refer to the detailed replacement instructions in the flush ball seal replacement kit before removing or installing the seal.
