If the installation of the toilet results in it being connected to ANY through-hull fitting that may possibly be
below the waterline at ANY time, whether when the craft is at rest, underway and heeling or rolling or
pitching, you must install the toilet in accordance with these Installation Instructions. If you do not, water
may flood in, causing the craft to sink, which may result in loss of life.

8 large stainless steel washers not more than 21mm (13/16") diameter.
Bolt down the toilet and tighten the fastenings securely. If you are not using self-locking nuts, use nut-
locking compound.
4 stainless steel nuts, preferably self-locking. If you do not use self-locking nuts you will need some nut-
locking compound.
Apply a bead of white silicone sealant to the outer rim of the bottom base.
4 x 8mm (5/16") diameter stainless steel bolts of length to suit the thickness of the mounting surface.
A small tube of white silicone sealant.
Offer up the toilet in the selected position and, using the holes in the base as a guide, mark the positions for
the 4 bolt holes on the mounting surface. Remove the toilet and drill 4 vertical holes of 9mm diameter
through the mounting surface.
YOU WILL NEED:
Ensure the inlet seacock is positioned where it will be below the waterline at all times when the craft is
underway, and also ensure that any outlet seacock is both aft of, and higher than, the inlet seacock.
19mm (1-1/2’’) bore seacock for the flushing water inlet, and, if you are discharging the waste overboard, a
38 mm (1-1/2’’) bore seacock for the waste outlet.
Follow the seacock manufacturer's own instructions concerning materials and methods of installation.
YOU WILL NEED:
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Therefore, if you are making connections between the toilet and ANY through-hull fittings that may possibly
be below the waterline at ANY time, full bore seacocks MUST be fitted to those hull fittings, to allow them to
be shut off.
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-hull fittings and if the toilet or pipework is damaged, water may flood
in causing the craft to sink, which may result in loss of life.
The seacocks MUST also be positioned where they are easily accessible to all users of the toilet. If, for any
reason, it is not possible to do this, then secondary full bore marine quality valves MUST be fitted to the
hoses where they are easily accessible.
YOU MUST select the correct method for the inlet pipework from 2 options and for the outlet pipework from
4 options, according to whether the toilet is above or below the waterline, and to whether it discharges the
waste overboard or into an on-board holding tank.
If the toilet is connected to ANY through-hull fittings and if the pipework becomes disconnected, either from
a through-hull fitting or seacock, or from the toilet or any secondary valve, water may flood in and may
cause the craft to sink, which may result in loss of life. Therefore the ends of ALL flexible hoses fitted directly
or indirectly between the toilet and ANY through-hull fitting that may possibly be below the waterline at ANY
time, MUST be secured to the hose tails to which they are connected, using two stainless steel worm-drive
hose clips.
USE HOSE CLIPS!
Secure the hose runs so that the hoses cannot move and chafe, and so that they do not exert any leverage
on the hose tail fittings to which they are connected, as this may cause adjacent joints to leak.
If it is difficult to fit the hose onto the hose tails of the toilet or seacocks, lubricate it with water, or soften the
hose by dipping the end of it in hot water.
Avoid sharp bends in the hoses that may cause them to become kinked.
Keep all pipework lengths as short as possible, whilst complying with these instructions. Unnecessary inlet
or outlet hose length just makes the toilet harder to pump.

4. THROUGH HULL FITTINGS
USE SEACOCKS!
5. PIPEWORK - SELECTION OF CORRECT METHOD
Spiral reinforced smooth bore flexible hoses for both the 19mm (3/4") id inlet and the 38mm (11/2") id outlet
pipework
Two stainless steel worm-drive hose clips for every hose tail connection (4, 6 or 8).

!
CAUTION: Use lever operated, full bore marine seacocks and
valves. The use of screw-down gate valves is not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not apply flame to the hose. Do not apply flame or any
heat to the plastic hose tails on the toilet. Do not use oils, greases or
synthetic lubricants. Do not apply sealing compounds to any hose
connections. Do not over tighten hose clips. Any of these actions may
result in cracking or breakage of the plastic parts of the toilet.
