Did I miss the part where he's planning to plumb his toilet to go through the arch...??? Close, it's this part I thought you could help him with: I went to check it out and found that the conduit is actually Schedule 40 grey pipe. So, my question is, would this work for the Schedule 40 pipe installations in sanitary service, Ah...I did miss that part. Yes, it can be used in sanitation systems, but is only recommended for long straight runs. And it must be "soft-coupled" to anything fixed in the system--toilet, tank, thru-hull, y-valve, overboard discharge pump--with enough hose to provide shock absorption and protection from cracking due to hull flexing...so unless you have a long straight run of 10' of more (unlikely in any properly designed system on a boat under about 60') you'd have so many unions in the plumbing (potential leaks) that it's not worth doing. Plumb your system with AVS96 sanitation hose (the mfr's original name for the same hose SeaLand sold as the "OdorSafe" brand for a number of years, now sold direct for $5/ft cut to any length), PVC fittings are ok. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://69.20.93.241/store/customer/p...40&cat=&page=1 |
