Will this replace my broken waste ball drive arm?

• Includes closet flange seal sized for the drive arm interface.
• Not a full toilet assembly—only the drive arm and seal kit.

Which Thetford toilets are compatible with this kit?

This drive arm kit was made for the Aqua Magic family of RV toilets. It fits Style II, Style Lite, Style Plus and Residence models, but you should always confirm your toilet’s part number before ordering.

How difficult is installation and what should I watch for?
