4.1
Mounting location
■
Ideally, the toilet should be installed in a location that is higher than the holding tank. A
(maximum) 6' rise between the toilet and holding tank will not impact performance.
Using toilet and supplied template, verify that the installation site has:
■
o Sufficient clearance between toilet and nearby wall so that water supply hose and
discharge hose are not kinked
o Room for maintenance and accessibility
■
The floor supporting the toilet is level and strong enough to support toilet and weight of any
potential user.
■
The floor structure is strong enough to securely anchor toilet using supplied screws; 3/4"
minimum.
■
The flooring is water-resistant so structure and anchoring integrity are maintained.
4.2
Raw water considerations
■
The Raw Water pump must be securely mounted in a dry, well-ventilated area. It should be
mounted not more than 6' at any time above the heeled waterline.
DANGER: The Raw Water pump must be powered by the toilet relay module. Use of any pump
that draws more than 15 amps requires installation of a pump contactor relay. Do not wire
pump directly to a D.C. power source so that it is controlled by its pressure-activated switch. If a
leak were to occur when wired directly, the pump would run continuously and create risk of
sinking of the boat and loss of life.
■
An in-line strainer MUST be installed to protect the system. Failure to use an in-line strainer may
void product warranty.
A Vented Loop of proper diameter MUST be installed if – UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE or
■
CONDITION (including heel trim or load):
o Toilet is connected to a through-the-hull fitting and rim of toilet could EVER be in a
position below the waterline.
DANGER: Failure to use a Vented Loop in raw water pump installation sites can lead to water
flowing into the toilet from the outside (siphoning) which can cause loss of property and life!
