- Ensure all water supply lines are shut off and the toilet is drained before beginning any work.

3. Package Contents
The Dometic 385311720 Toilet Mounting Adapter Kit includes:
- Dometic 385311720 Mounting Adapter (Bone color), designed to convert a 4-bolt mounting to a 2-bolt mounting for Dometic 310 toilets.
- Note: Additional mounting hardware (screws, bolts, seals) is typically included with the kit. Please verify contents upon receipt.
4. Installation Instructions
This adapter kit is designed to simplify the installation of Dometic 300, 310, and 320 series toilets when replacing an older toilet with a four-bolt mounting pattern with a new toilet requiring a two-bolt pattern. It also ensures proper elevation for the toilet.
- Preparation: Ensure the existing toilet is removed, the water supply is disconnected, and the black water tank flange area is clean and free of debris.
- Positioning the Adapter: Place the Dometic mounting adapter over the existing four-bolt black water tank flange. The adapter is designed to align with the existing bolt holes. The adapter provides the necessary height to prevent the new toilet from resting directly on the tank flange.
- Securing the Adapter: Use the provided hardware to secure the adapter to the floor and the existing four-bolt flange. Ensure the adapter is firmly seated and level.
- Sealing: Apply a suitable sealant (e.g., caulk) around the base of the adapter where it meets the floor to prevent leaks and odors.
- New Toilet Installation: Once the adapter is securely installed, proceed with mounting your new Dometic 300, 310, or 320 series toilet onto the two-bolt pattern provided by the adapter. Follow the specific installation instructions provided with your new toilet for final assembly, water connection, and testing.
5. Operation
The Dometic Toilet Mounting Adapter Kit is a passive component that facilitates the physical installation of your Dometic 300, 310, or 320 series toilet. Once correctly installed, it enables the proper function and stability of the toilet. Refer to your specific Dometic toilet's user manual for operational instructions.
6. Maintenance
The adapter itself requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the toilet area will help maintain the adapter's condition.
- Clean the adapter surface with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Periodically inspect the mounting bolts and seals for any signs of loosening or wear. Tighten bolts if necessary and replace seals if they show signs of degradation to prevent leaks.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet is unstable or wobbly after installation. | Adapter not securely fastened; toilet not properly bolted to adapter. | Ensure all mounting bolts for the adapter and the toilet are tightened according to manufacturer specifications. Check for proper alignment. |
| Leaking around the base of the toilet. | Improperly sealed adapter; damaged or incorrectly installed flange seal. | Verify that the sealant around the adapter base is intact. Inspect and replace the toilet flange seal if necessary. Ensure all connections are tight. |
| Adapter does not fit existing bolt pattern. | Incorrect adapter model for your specific toilet or existing flange. | Confirm that your existing toilet flange is a four-bolt pattern and that your new toilet is a Dometic 300, 310, or 320 series. Verify the adapter part number (385311720) matches your requirements. |
