Position
• Position the tank as close as possible to the toilet to avoid dirty
water flowing back into the toilet from the tank when the boat
heels.
• Install the tank so that it is easily accessible for inspection.
• Also ensure that there is sufficient free space over the top of the
tank for the hose connections. These must be easily accessible
during installation. The tank should be 1 cm (3/8") free all round
from bulkheads or other tanks, to provide ventilation.
• Ensure that there is a sufficiently solid foundation for placing and
fixing the tank firmly.
• The size of the tank increases slightly when it is full Take this
into account when fixing the tank in place.
• Use the fixing straps from the connection kit as these allow the
tank to expand.
Fitting in sailing ships
When fitting remember that the suction waste water hose must al-
ways be positioned on the same side of the ship as the tank.
This prevents too high a pressure from possibly occurring in the tank
when sailing at an angle.
2 2 Fitting the inspection cover and fittings
Always fit the inspection cover on the top of the tank!
Position the connector lid preferably where plug P is located
• Use the drill stencil supplied to make the hole for the cover. Finish
the hole free of burrs.
• Drill the holes for the fittings (43 mm (1 11∕16") diameter) and suc-
tion tube (57 mm (2 1∕4") diameter) in the top of the tank.
• Choose the position of the fittings so that when the ship is bea-
ched on its side, waste water cannot run back to the shower, wash
basin, toilet, etc., or flow outside via the tank air-relief.
• Clean saw dust and drill shavings from inside the tank.
