Microphor Toilet parts
For those who still have this toilet, I found that Mullaney & Assoc. has the parts. I looked them up and they turned out to be 7 miles away. I called, ordered the new bowl seal and drove over and picked up the part. Amazing coincidence!

Does anyone know if the flapper gasket on the Microphor LF220 can be replaced without removing the whole toilet?
-
YES. CYCLE POWER OFF WHERE YOU WANT CLEAN REAL GOOD NEW ON HAS ADHESIVE PEEL AND STICK. DID MINE VERY HAPPY NO MORE DRY BOWEL.THEY HAVE THE PARTS.

Guess you have to be pretty careful not to drop it into the black tank eh?
So it just pulls it off the plastic disc it’s mounted to? Sounds too easy.

SIMPLE FIX.

Yep, just peel it off. It might has some little rubber “tits” on the back that go in holes in the flapper if it’s never been replaced. No worries about the holes left behind as the new gasket just sticks and covers the holes. Just clean well before installing the gasket to ensure a good stick.

These guys are making it sound way too easy. There are some things you are going to need to be careful of like dropping things down never to be seen again. I replaced mine a year or so ago and this is how i did it: 1) lift the lid off the back tank and locate the red wire, Turn off the water, flush the toilet and disconnect the wire. The flapper will be in the open position. 2) Take a pick and put it in between the black seal and the light colored plastic door, there is a boss that locates the seal. Go around the seal and carefully pull it up off it’s base, being careful not to drop this gasket, or the tool, or your flashlight down the chute. 3) clean off the mounting flange with a flat scraper or screwdriver, mine was 30 years old and had calcium and other things attached to it. I used a soap and vinegar solution to soak the flange, and i went thru the hole and carefully scraped everything off. 4) take a small cup of water and splash it into the mounting flange to rinse it, you might need to do this a couple times, then let it dry thoroughly. 5) Take the new gasket, peel off the paper backing exposing the adhesive, and very carefully squeeze the gasket into an oval to fit it thru the hole and place it over the mounting boss and seat it on the flange. 6) plug in the red power wire, and the flapper will close. I let mine sit for 24 hours like this before i turned the water back on. mine has been installed for a year or so and i am really happy, a $300 and maybe 15 minutes of my time to fix.

Thanks all for your input. The thought of dropping the old (or new) one into the tank scares the hell out of me. The flapper isn’t leaking at this point, I was just thinking about doing this job as a preventative maintenance sort of thing. Perhaps I’ll just buy the gasket so I have it on hand and let sleeping dogs (or flushing toilets) lie.

Keep in mind, it may not be the gasket. There are a bunch of plastic parts that are under quite heavy loads to keep that flapper up and sealed. To be honest, if you plan on keeping the bus, it would be a good idea to pull the toilet and fix everything at the same time. parts are fairly inexpensive and it will make your life a lot easier. Shut off the water, disconnect the power wires, and water line, remove the 4 nuts and out it comes in less than 5 minutes.

I am confused as to why there is concern of dropping parts into the black tank. Doesnt the flapper simply let the waste into the small pressure chamber which can only get to the black tank after air pressure is applied? The discharge is also 6 inches above the flapper. What am i missing?
-
So…….take it from some one who inadvertently placed a toilet lid spacer into a Microphor. The discharge line is about 2 inch ID. Anything that will pass through the Microphore will pass through the 3 inch gate valves for the holding tank.

But.. not by dropping something. It would have to be flushed to provide lift to the discharge. Again, unless im missing something. Its been awhile since i worked on mine so i very well could be. Maybe you guys arent talking about the flapper in the bowl.
