Setup and Installation

The Thetford 24967 Toilet Riser is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure and leak-free setup.

This image illustrates the Thetford 24967 Toilet Riser, a white, square-shaped base designed to be installed between the existing toilet flange and the toilet. A translucent overlay of a toilet base demonstrates how the riser adds 2.5 inches of height, improving comfort and accessibility. The riser features bolt holes for secure mounting and a central opening for the waste drain.

1. Preparation: Turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush to empty the bowl. Disconnect the water line and remove the existing toilet from its mounting flange. Clean the area around the toilet flange thoroughly.
2. Install Lower Gasket: Place one of the provided gaskets onto the existing closet flange. Ensure it is properly aligned with the bolt holes and the drain opening.
3. Position Riser: Carefully place the Thetford 24967 Toilet Riser onto the gasket and over the closet flange. Align the riser's bolt holes with the flange bolts.
4. Secure Riser: Use the appropriate set of closet bolts (long or short, depending on your toilet model and existing setup) to secure the riser to the floor flange. Tighten the nuts evenly to compress the gasket and ensure a stable, wobble-free connection.
5. Install Upper Gasket: Place the second gasket on top of the installed riser, aligning it with the bolt holes and the riser's drain opening.
6. Reinstall Toilet: Carefully place your RV toilet onto the riser, aligning its base with the upper gasket and the bolt holes.
7. Secure Toilet: Use the remaining bolts and nuts to secure the toilet to the riser. Tighten evenly, applying firm pressure to compress the gasket. It may be helpful to have someone sit on the toilet during tightening to ensure proper compression and stability.
8. Reconnect Water Line: Reconnect the water supply line to the toilet. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final snug turn. Be careful not to overtighten.
9. Test for Leaks: Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for any leaks around the base of the toilet and the water line connections. Flush the toilet several times to ensure proper function and check for leaks again.

Note on Water Line: Depending on your existing water line length, you may need an extension or a longer water line due to the added height of the riser.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Thetford 24967 Toilet Riser functions passively by elevating your existing RV toilet. No special operation is required beyond the normal use of your toilet. The riser provides a permanent increase in toilet height for improved comfort and ease of use.

Maintenance

The Thetford 24967 Toilet Riser requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with standard bathroom cleaners is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. Periodically inspect the connections around the riser and toilet base for any signs of leaks or loosening, and tighten bolts if necessary.
