Suitable for C200 type toilets. Thetford Part Number: 23743-78 (78 denotes colour - yellow).
The Thetford Toilet C200CS Blade Opener (Product code: 23743-78) is a key component in the Thetford C200CS cassette toilet system. Here's what this part does:
1. Operates the Waste Valve (Blade):
- The blade opener is responsible for opening and closing the waste valve, also known as the "blade," in the toilet. This blade seals the waste holding tank when the toilet is not in use and opens to allow waste to enter the tank when the toilet is flushed.
2. Manual Control:
- The C200CS model typically features a manual control handle or lever connected to the blade opener. When the user operates this handle, it engages the blade opener, which in turn slides the blade open or closed. This allows the user to control when the waste is released into the holding tank.
3. Sealing and Hygiene:
- By controlling the opening and closing of the blade, the blade opener helps to maintain the hygiene of the toilet system. When closed, the blade seals the holding tank, preventing odors and waste from escaping into the toilet compartment. This ensures that the toilet remains odor-free and sanitary when not in use.
4. Prevents Overfilling:
- The blade opener also plays a role in preventing overfilling of the holding tank. By allowing the user to close the waste valve after use, it helps to manage the waste level within the tank and ensures that the tank is only opened when it's necessary.
5. Replacement Part:
- Over time, the blade opener mechanism can wear out or become less effective, leading to issues with the waste valve not opening or closing properly. Replacing a faulty blade opener with this part (23743-78) can restore the proper function of the toilet's waste valve.
6. Ensures Smooth Operation:
- A functioning blade opener is crucial for the smooth operation of the Thetford C200CS toilet. It ensures that the waste valve opens and closes easily, making the toilet more user-friendly and maintaining its overall functionality.
The Thetford Toilet C200CS Blade Opener (23743-78) is an essential component that controls the opening and closing of the waste valve in the Thetford C200CS cassette toilet.
