Description
Genuine Dometic Flush Lever & Cartridge Kit for Short-Base Gravity & VacuFlush Toilets
Restore smooth, reliable flush operation to your Dometic short-base toilet with this genuine metal flush lever and spring cartridge kit. A rusted, bent, or worn flush lever can cause rough or inconsistent foot-pedal operation, while a failing spring cartridge is a common cause of a pedal that feels spongy, sticks down, or won't return to its resting position. This kit replaces both the lever arm and the internal cartridge mechanism together, restoring smooth, reliable pedal action in one repair.

How to Confirm This Is the Right Kit for You
This kit is designed for short-base toilets specifically. If your toilet has a tall/standard base with a metal flush lever, you'll want the tall-base version instead (part #385310578). Given the range of models this kit covers, confirm your exact toilet model number (found on the data plate at the toilet's base) against the list above before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
My flush lever is rusted — do I need to replace it?
Yes — if your metal flush lever shows rust or corrosion, it should be replaced to ensure smooth, reliable foot pedal operation going forward. Rust can cause binding, rough movement, or eventual lever failure.
What's the difference between this and part #385310578?
385310579 is the short-base version of this lever and cartridge kit; 385310578 is the equivalent kit for tall-base toilets. Check your toilet's base height to determine which version you need.
My pedal feels spongy or won't return to neutral — is this the right fix?
Yes — a worn or weakened spring cartridge is one of the most common causes of a pedal that feels spongy, sticks down, or doesn't spring back after a flush. This kit replaces both the lever arm and the cartridge together.
Why does one kit fit so many different models?
The short-base lever and cartridge mechanism is a mechanically standardized design Dometic has used consistently across several gravity and VacuFlush toilet platforms, which is why this single kit spans such a wide model range.
Is this compatible with my VacuFlush system specifically?
Yes — VacuFlush was originally developed for marine use, and its parts, including this lever and cartridge kit, carry over directly into many RV applications as well, thanks to Dometic's backward-compatible parts design across the SeaLand/Dometic VacuFlush lineup.
Why is this a special order item?
Some Dometic replacement components, including this kit, are stocked directly by the manufacturer rather than held in regular retail inventory, so we order it specifically for your purchase.
