Will it work for a recent Wilcox Head-mate? Or is there a way to lube
the pump without dismantling it?

Thanks in Advance

Dumb question: Any reason why this would not work for any other

head?
A wilcox Headmate, bought last year, to be specific.


It depends on the design of the toilet and the location of the inlet
connection...whether it's even necessary. For instance, Jabsco toilet


pumps have a top that can be removed...others connect to a wet/dry

valve
housing on the pump instead of directly to the pump housing.

Btw...while I have the floor again... Dishwashing liquid is a dandy
cleaner and as bio-degradable (a meaningless term, actually) as

anything
else, but unless you use it with every flush it doesn't lubricate at
all...just washes right out again with the next flush.
