Tecma toilet -discharge grommet caulk

[Morelords]

Hi all,
Our macerator pump for our Tecma toilet bit the dust, and I am in the process of replacing it. Since it comes with a discharge Gromit, I went to pull the old one off the toilet discharge and realized there was a gray material somewhat between a putty and a caulk between the grommet and the porcelain discharge. Took it both to a marine supply store and hardware store and neither could tell exactly what it was. Will try Marine Sanitation Supply , and Thetford, on Monday.

Any ideas? if you’ve done this, what did you use to seal the Gromit to the porcelain discharge?

Thanks,

Mike

Never did this type of repair but….I bet the gray material is Bed-It butyl tape. I use Bed-It extensively on our boat and it looks just like the picture above.

Thanks for the reply, Mike. I may give that a try. If I find out what Thetford or Ranger Tugs used for this, I will follow this post up with an update.

Could be plumber's putty, used to seal sink drains.
