Title: RE: [VAC] Toilet flange

That's what I had.  In order to remove it I took a piece of old oak flooring and cut it to fit using the tongue to fit in the 2 opposing notches in the black plastic union(?).  It took a bit of effort.  And I don't see how your going to repair the tank especially if it's gotta be plastic welded without taking it out.  My leaks wear at the thetford valve and at the vent port.  Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: wcresseau To: Multiple recipients of VACList Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 2:08 PM Subject: [VAC] Re: Toilet flange Jimbo                                                                                Metal flange that toilet bolts to is loose,plastic flange that fits on top of  this and goes down into tank is whats causing problem.If its glued I've got a problem.Floor will have to be cut out, hard to believe they installed tank then floor then glued flange in place,although stranger things have happened.If I can remove shroud around tank from beneath I may have  a chance of patching leak. If not,back to drawing board.Does tank have straight inlet from top with just one  flange,mine has inlet with black hard plastic flange then metal flange under this that bolts to floor.                                    Bill                                                                                67 GT             ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Combs To: Multiple recipients of VACList Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 12:56 PM Subject: [VAC] Re: Toilet flange Are you sure that your flange is threaded?  They're available as a press-fit, glue in arrangement also.  But I don't know if Airstream ever used those.  Anyone know for sure?  Jimbo / '76 Sovereign   -----Original Message----- From: wcresseau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Is it possible to repair leaks in blackwater tank without removing tank,assuming leaks are on bottom or sides. Toilet flange is not wanting to come out,PB Blaster et al used to loosen with no results. Any stronger trying will lead to broken flange,already has broken piece in top. Which way does flange rotate to remove,I remember someone saying clockwise then follow up post said counter. Doesn't make much difference at the moment.Thanks. Bill 67 GT
