I have a problem with back filling with my TMC toilet. From what I have been able to find on the web, it does not appear to have a Joker valve as found in Jabsco toilets. It appears that the TMC is fitted with a Flapper Valve. If I am correct, this thing needs to be replaced but unfortunately, I can't find a UK stockist for this part. Is there anyone out there who might know where I can get one??
If this proves to be impossible, I will be faced with replacing the whole thing.
Any help will be gratefully received
 
We have one on our Kiwi boat. The valve is just a horizontal flap with a weighted edge. I overhauled ours. I found the sintered bronze bush that separates the out and in sections was worn so badly that the O rings would not seal and the out mixed with the in. Not good.

Same sympton as a bad flap valve though.........................................

Burnsco at Seaview Marina Wellington carried all spares at a very reasonably cost.

I finally gave up with the TMC. Even after fitting a new flapper valve the toilet was never really satisfactory. I managed to get the replacement from a chandlery in Australia. I don't have the boat any more so I don't remember the name of the chandlery. In the end, I replaced the whole toilet with a newer model

This is an Australian dealer. I really want to find someone in the UK if possible.

This is the chandlery that I got my spare part from. Although they are in Australia, there was no problem in getting the part. No different from getting something from a UK chandler. Just a bit extra on the postage.......
