Sewage Lines
Update on boat refurbishing:
Couldn't find "liquid nail" in an exterior grade but did find another manufacturer with a waterproof version of the same sort of stuff. We installed the ceiling in the forward compartment using it. Hopefully it will be satisfactory. I'm into the "ablution" installation phase and currently contemplating the installation of an electric flush toilet. The base of the toilet fixture is located approximately 8 to 10 inches above the water line and there is no necessity for an anti siphon loop in either the inlet or waste lines. I have been considering installing PVC pipes for both inlet and waste lines from the toilet fixture to the seacocks with connection on each end being made with short sections of hose and clamps. Given that the cause of most "head Crashes" is the buildup of deposits, which apparently are mainly caused by urine standing in the lines, and I suspect that with no loop this will not occur in this installation is my plastic piped system likely to be satisfactory? Anyone with experience with a toilet straight out of the boat? (No requirement for a holding tank over here). Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
