SC400/500 Holding Tank Mech Right

The Thetford C400 / C500 toilet holding tank mechanism, specifically the Right-hand version (part number 73690), is a component designed for use in certain Thetford cassette toilets commonly found in caravans, motorhomes, and boats. This mechanism is part of the holding tank assembly, which is responsible for managing the waste collection and disposal process in the toilet system.

Here’s what the mechanism does:

1. Flush Mechanism Control: The Right-hand holding tank mechanism typically includes components that allow the user to operate the toilet's flush and control the release of waste into the holding tank.

2. Waste Valve Operation: It helps in opening and closing the waste valve, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene and preventing odors from escaping the holding tank when the toilet is not in use.

3. Tank Sealing: The mechanism contributes to the sealing of the holding tank when the toilet is not being used, ensuring that waste and odors are contained within the tank.

4. Compatibility: This specific mechanism is designed for Right-hand operation, meaning that the handle or control for this mechanism is positioned on the left side of the toilet unit when facing it. This could be important depending on the layout of the space where the toilet is installed.

5. Maintenance and Replacement:
