Discharge Piping Layouts
VacuFlush toilets must be connected to 1.5-inch (38mm) ID exible sanitation hose. Connections can be made
either through the oor or out the rear of the toilet above the oor.
Flexible hoses that contain sewage from any marine toilet will create unpleasant odor that permeates through the
wall of the hose. Avoid this condition by installing the tank in the lowest position in the boat so that hose contents
will drain into the holding tank. Rigid PVC pipe can also be installed in runs that hold trapped sewage. The marine
sanitation hose most resistant to odor permeation is OdorSafe Plus
®
hose, available from your local SeaLand or
VacuFlush product dealer.
