Standard as all toilets come from the factory, but not necessarily an
installation that meets safety standards.

Earlier (way earlier, maybe a year, in a thread about LectraSans) I
commented about the extraordinarily long runs in the aft head. The removal
of the LS makes the exhaust run only about 15 feet, total (counting the 3'
up and down it has to go to the vented loop top).

That's still too long...

The
only cosmetically acceptable location...

Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! The obsession with "cosmetically acceptable"
locations for safety equipment on a boat is a recent innovation that
never existed before the industry began marketing boats to people who
don't really want a BOAT, they want an RV--or worse yet, a luxury
condo--that floats. No...vented loops and seacocks are NOT "decor"
items...but before decor trumped safety, that didn't concern owners. Put
the bloomin' loop(s) where it(they) belongs--above the toilet on the
bulkhead behind it. Email me--peg(dot)hall(at)sbcglobal(dot)net--and
I'll send you or anyone else who wants one a photo of the correct
installation. If that's "cosmetically unacceptable," build a teak,
mahogany, plywood, formica--whatever you consider to BE "cosmetically
acceptable!"--box to cover it and the plumbing. Just make it removeable
so you can service the air valve in the loop and check the hose clamps etc.

As for the manual for your PH II, you can download and print one from
