Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My pedal goes down but the toilet doesn’t flush. Is this the part I need?
Most likely yes — a stretched or broken cable is the most common cause of lost flush action.

Q: Will this fit Aqua-Magic IV or Style II toilets?
No. This cable fits Aqua-Magic V & VI only.

Q: Is this an OEM Thetford part?
Yes — 31711 is the official factory replacement cable.

Q: Does installing the cable require removing the toilet?
Not usually. On most RVs, the shroud provides enough access to replace the cable.

Q: How long do flush cables typically last?
Lifespan varies by use, but heavy foot-pedal pressure and age can cause stretching or breakage after several years.
