Replacing the water valve on a Thetford RV toilet, see warning in the description!

THIS VIDEO HAS AN ERROR IN IT!
Where I install the new valve I assemble it backwards!!
Install the part with the “O” first then install the locking ring.
This will allow for easier installation of the pedal and the new valve will not leak.
All other Information is correct & useful.
This is a step by step replacement procedure for the Thetford RV toilet model 42072 water valve.

Our Thetford is leaking from the flush pedal as well. Many thanks for the part number and installation video!

Your video has a mistake in it. When installing the valve you need to install the valve piece with the rubber o-ring first and then install the retaining ring that you then rotate counter-clockwise to lock into place. The way you had it, the foot petal is the only thing holding the valve in place and the pressure causes the foot petal to pop off like someone else mentioned in the comments.

You are absolutely correct, I’ve added a big warning in the description because the rest of the video is correct & I believe useful. Thanks for being this to my attention.

I followed the steps you showed, but after I lined everything up and attached the foot pedal it seemed like it was in place but when I pushed down on it to test it, it popped off. I've attempted to reattach it 7-8 times with the same results. What am I doing wrong?

My video has an error in it. I installed the new valve in the wrong order. The part with the “O” goes in first, then the locking ring. I don’t know why mine worked but it’s wrong nonetheless. I’ve added a warning at the beginning of the description.

Please turn your iPhone sideways (horizontal) when shooting video. Remember the shape of computer screens 🖥, and remember that people can flip their phone horizontally 🔄for watching videos (and the screen automatically turns horizontally when they flip their phone). Otherwise, your video is tiny when watched on a computer, and a lot of space is wasted. Thanks.
