FAQs
Is this part compatible with my C200 toilet?
No, this part is specifically designed for the SC200 and C400 series. Please check your specific toilet model label.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Generally, no. The component is designed for hand-tightening to ensure the plastic threads are not overtightened or damaged.
How often should I replace this hose connection?
There is no set interval; it should be replaced if you observe signs of wear, cracking, or if the system begins to leak.
Can I use plumbing tape on this connection?
Only use approved sealant tape if absolutely necessary and ensure it does not interfere with the seating of the internal seal.
What should I do if the connection feels loose after install?
Ensure the fitting is pushed into the housing fully before tightening. If it remains loose, check the receiving port for worn-down threads.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage at the connection point
Check if the connection is tightened fully; if the leak persists, inspect the threading for damage or verify if the O-ring seal is properly seated.
Difficulty threading the new part
Do not force the connection. Back it out and re-align carefully to ensure the threads are catching properly without cross-threading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting the installation, ensure the water supply to the toilet is turned off and the system is depressurized. This component is compatible exclusively with Thetford SC200 and C400 cassette toilets. To install, remove the old connection, clean the surrounding area of any debris, and carefully thread the new connection until hand-tight, ensuring you do not cross-thread the fitting. For maintenance, periodically inspect the hose connection during your routine winterization or seasonal setup. Keep the area clean and free from harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic or rubber seals over time.
