Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my toilet is low-profile?
Low-profile toilets are shorter (step-in height). If your toilet sits lower or is labeled “Low Profile,” this is the correct pedal.

Q: Will this fit Style Lite or Style Plus toilets?
No. This pedal is only for Style II and Residence low-profile models.

Q: Is this an OEM Thetford part?
Yes — 42079 is the genuine factory replacement pedal.

Q: My pedal presses but won’t trigger a flush — will this fix it?
If the issue is with the pedal itself or its linkage, yes.
If the water valve or waste ball is damaged, other repairs may be needed.

Q: Can I install it myself?
Yes. Most RV owners can replace the pedal with basic tools and minimal mechanical experience.
