Soil Pipe To Holding Tank

[Ray]

It's the white corrugated type and I need to replace the section from the 3 way diverter valve to the tank itself.

I just really wanted to know if it has an 'official' name and is it a standard size so I can order the right thing please. 

(It's a hand pump system if that makes a difference)

Sanitation hose, asap has it, I would guess brian ward would too.

Probably 38mm.

Thank you, it's a job I've been putting off but best to get it done before the new season.

I hope you have deep pockets it ain’t cheap.

I got mine from here: https://www.leesan.com/shop/hosespipe-and-fittings/sanitation-hose

It's probably 38mm or an "inch an 'alf" in old money. Best to check though as it's cut to length and I wouldn't think they would be too keen to take it back. I paid £13/metre and I notice it's £17 now. 

I changed about 5 metres of it and while this forum contains a lot of very nice, knowledgable and usually helpful people, if you ask for volunteers to help change the pipe, they will all run to the hills.  

Covid is not the only reason forum members no longer shake my hand....

Here was I thinking it's a cheap job.... any volunteers? 😁

Brian Wards do indeed have it, they sell it in 1m lengths so I will have to measure before ordering but it's a very reasonable £10.51

This is where I got mine from, usually next day delivery.

This is what I used, with Vetus carbon filters to prevent the vent pipe smelling outside. My tank and skin fitting spigots are 25mm of which I have two.

I bottled it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . second thoughts, that’s not the best term to use - I didn’t feel that I was sufficiently skilled to do it, so Paul (Swancraft) did it in ours.  Grovelling about in the bilges with long lengths of eff . . . . . . . . . luent filled pipes was not a job I that I fancied tackling!!

Have a closer look at the different types; some are more expensive because of what they are made of. I think it comes down to how long you expect to keep the boat. Over many years the cost doesn't look so bad. I think I replaced 50 year old pipe.

If you are replacing the pipe then opt fr a smooth walled pipe of the same size.

Poor Paul, he did most of mine too as an emergency while we were having a short holiday down South. We went to the pub while he did it too 😂

As for bottling it... an emergency bucket is as far as I'll go, if I must 🙂

Hi Ray its made by LeeSan and called Odor free toilet pipe and use only stainless steel jubilee clamps two on each joint if possible with clips opist each other and try too keep level or sloping to tank. John

I didn't subject Paul to our smelly tank, I did it myself. However Paul did advise pipe size and the addition of Vetus filters. He knows our boat inside out, as he built her and has serviced the engine since new. Great to have someone we can call if we have a problem, he knows where every pipe and wire is on the boat!
