Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my tank head needs replacement?
A: Signs include water leaking around the filler neck, cracks in the plastic or metal head assembly, difficulty securing the filler cap, or visible corrosion around the tank opening. If your Dometic 42 HTS tank is losing water or won't hold pressure, the head kit is likely the culprit.
Q: Is this a complete kit or do I need additional parts?
A: This is a complete head tank kit that includes the machined head assembly and all necessary gaskets and hardware for installation. You should not need additional components, though you may want to have a new filler cap on hand if yours is damaged.
Q: What tools do I need to install this kit?
A: Basic hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers) are typically sufficient. You may need a tank wrench or strap wrench to secure the assembly. We recommend consulting your Dometic documentation or contacting our support team for model-specific installation guidance.
