Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My toilet won’t add water during the flush—will this part fix it?
Yes. A failed water valve is the most common cause of no water entering the bowl.
Q: Does this fit Aqua-Magic IV or Style Series toilets?
No. This valve fits Aqua-Magic V and VI only.
Q: Is this the genuine OEM Thetford valve?
Yes — 31705 is the official factory replacement.
Q: Do I need the water valve link (36528) too?
Only if the pedal moves but the valve does not actuate. Many repairs require the valve alone.
Q: Do I need to remove the toilet to install this?
Often no — the shroud provides sufficient access on most RV installations.
