(54) | Toilet for use in recreational vehicle and boats |
(57) A toilet (10) utilizes a pressurized fluid source (20) providing a flush volume of
less than 1 gallon. A removable discharge passageway (35) is sealingly coupled at
a first end (42) to the toilet waste outlet and at a second end (46) to a floor flange
(48), and defines a trapway for providing a water seal therebetween. In one example,
the water seal includes a water column (66), and the discharge passageway is configured
to maintain at least about 80% of the water column therein when the toilet is pivoted
about 10 degrees. In another example, an upleg (60) extends vertically upward a distance
sufficient to maintain a minimum water column within the upleg necessary to maintain
the water seal between the bowl (26) and the floor flange when the toilet is pivoted
about 10 degrees. In another example, a support bracket (70) maintains the second
end of the discharge passageway generally fixed relative to the first end.
