Toilet hand sprayer

[barmcd]

We had a leak at the water fitting of our sea/land toilet. When I tightened it up I noticed the hand wand hose was gone. Where does it attach? I don't see the wand in the owners manual.

Did your toilet ever have a hand wand and hose?
(The Sealand 510 toilet in my coach doesn't).

However here's one that can be added to the Sealand 510:

Might not even have had one, our Thetford Aria Deluxe II doesn't.

Hand sprayer for RV toilets connect to a port/stub on the vacuum breaker so that it is downstream of water supply that way there is pressure on sprayer ONLY when flushing toilet.

Hand sprayers (just like kitchen faucet sprayers) are not designed to be leak proof with full line pressure in them)

Vacuum breaker should be up high at back of toilet.

SeaLand Models with optional hand sprayer will look like this..........small port/stub is where sprayer hose attaches with hose clamp. Large port is where hose from water supply assembly attaches and horizontal port sticks into toilet bowl with grommet

Most any RV toilet can have a hand sprayer added.......just a matter of changing out vacuum breaker with port for sprayer. Or like my Thetford the port is there just plugged.....drill it open and add sprayer

Old-Biscuit nailed it....

It had one at one time, there is a bracket on the wall.

Maybe the Vac Breaker went south and the PO decided it was cheaper to remove the whole thing since he was getting rid of the coach anyway?

Thanks, I'll look for that connection.

When you replace the vacuum breaker the nub where the spray hose attaches is closed like a tube of chalk--you have cut the nub so water can flow. Found this out on my Thetford after replacing all the internals since I had to fix a leaking water valve. After putting it all back together and back on the closet flange and doing an ops check I couldn't get water out of the sprayer. I was stumped so I called Thetford customer service. They asked me if I cut the nub off. I felt so stupid but the printed instructions didn't mention it.

I don't thinks so, the manual matches the commode. The problem is the illustrated parts breakdown is very faded so I can't see the actual parts. The parts list has a sprayer, hose and bracket listed.

So the sprayer hose probably attached to the plumbing at the back of the toilet? It's very tight in there and i'll probably have to pull the toilet to get to it. Not sure this is high on my priority list right now. At least I know how its supposed to work.

Bracket on wall is probably for a hand sprayer.
Your toilet model can have a hand sprayer -----optional accessory

Currently your toilet does NOT have the correct vacuum breaker for a hand sprayer...........why do I make that statement?
Because IF the hand sprayer vacuum breaker was installed on your toilet w/o a hand sprayer connected you would have a stream of water shooting out the backside of vacuum breaker where the hand sprayer hose S/B connected (It is an OPEN port where hose connects)

IF you want a hand sprayer you will need to purchase the vacuum breaker with sprayer kit.
And most likely have to pull toilet in order to install due to lack of access/working room so that means a new toilet floor flange gasket also

I'm with Old-Biscuit. You would have water all over the place every time you flushed the toilet with nothing connected to the outlet pipe for the auxiliary sprayer. It sounds like the previous owner replaced the anti-siphon valve and used a model without the auxiliary sprayer connection.

You can download a manual for your model of Sea/Land toilet at their site. That would help with trouble-shooting issues in the future. On our model the manual shows both with and without the sprayer. So, your manual may just not have that in the diagram.
