Just looked at the Practical Sailor review of Y-valves. The findings were essentially as follows: 1) if space is an issue, go with Bosworth or Forespar (Forespar preferred); 2) if space is not an issue, Jabsco is the best buy pick (that’s what I have, and it works fine); and 3) if you want something more robust and are willing to pay more, Groco makes a bronze unit that also got very high marks.

Although it can be a struggle there are some things that mike it a bit easier to deal with. the heat gun will help it bend a bit tighter and also help it slide over the fittings. heat the ends and use the liquid soap and it will slide on fittings pretty easily. I think the toughest scenario is a tight bend onto a fitting. I think it is good to have a good 6 to 8 inches of a straight run into a fitting. beyond that it is pretty straight forward. you need to be forceful routing it and try not to bend it through any openings too tight. you'll probably feel that you've had a bit of a workout in the end! LOL I know I did! I researched and researched hoses and the consensus was trident 101/102 for sanitation hose. I imagine every hose will have pros and cons. to me, the deciding factors were recommendations from Peggie Hall and Mainesail. Danny.

They say that Trident 101/102 is not necessarily the best option, though it is the cheapest of the good ones. If you have tight corners, Raritan might be a better option. Keep in mind that this article is a bit dated (Dec 2013). https://www.practical-sailor.com/blog/More-Great-Tips-for-Stopping-Boat-Stink-10852-1.html - this is a bit of a guide that you probably want to read before you start the project.

I’ll defer to the collective wisdom and go with the 101/102. I’ll borrow a small angle grinder to speed the process. This is not a job I want to repeat! The Raritan valve is worth a look too.

Amazon has a 50 foot roll of 140 series Trident hose for $150. Any reason this is the wrong hose? Anyone in Annapolis want to split a roll? (Beats 10/foot at the local stores) Looking for recommendations on a Y valve. The bosworth seems like a good option. Anyone use them? ------------------------------ . _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
