Thanks. Replacing all water lines on my list but probably a winter job. Under
my galley sink there is a line that draws from the tank and runs through a
strainer. Is that the suction strainer you are referring to? There is also some
tees and valves. One valve seems to control water coming from the tank and the
other seems to control water going to a foot pump in the galley. We leave both
valves open (not really knowing until recently what they controlled). Could it
be that the air is being introduced through the foot pump?

The accumulator probably won't stop the spurting. Air is most likely being
sucked in to the system. A probable cause is the suction strainer.
The accumulator is used to even out the pressure and minimize pump cycles. The
hot water tank often has a check valve on the cold water inlet which would make
the accumulator ineffective if installed on any of the hot water lines.
The grey tubing is called Polybutyl or PB and was made by Qest. The fittings
are still available but the pipe would be a bit harder to find. There are
plenty of more appropriate and modern alternatives. IMO the best repair
fittings are made by a company called
flair-it.https://mobilehomepartsstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CF

A couple of questions. I am going to install an accumulator tank to hopefully
stop or minimize the spurting that occurs when the pressure water pump is
running. The instructions say it can be installed anywhere downstream of the
pump.Q1. Could I install it underneath the galley sink in the hot or cold water
line?Q2. What do you call the grey poly pipe that provides water service to the
boat and what size is it?Thanks in advance
