Head toilet that will require a connection to my pressurized water. Not sure

Re: Stus-List plumbing rant stuff does not fit

2019-06-10 Thread Bill via CnC-List

I recall coming across those same problems too. A couple of things. pool stores have some really neat stuff in them if you just go in them and browse around. The fittings, they are more like 1 and 1/2 in then 1& 5/8. Also, I always use a heat gun. Really makes them easy to get on and off. also, tractor supply has some nice fittings. They have pretty durable nylon pieces for Farmers spray equipment and stuff so it's pretty tough. They also have what could be used as through hull strainers that look just as good as what I have seen in Marine storesBill ColemanOn Jun 10, 2019 8:03 AM, "Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List" wrote:

Final part of the rant: The Y-Valve has a smooth fitting that is a bit tight and doesn’t leak, but you can get the hose back off. Why can’t they ALL be that way!

Hi Matt,
I realized that my old galley sink fixture was costing me a lot of water usage 
because there was a separate hot and cold knob on each side of the existing 
fixture, and I was always turning it on, leaving it running while I washed my 
hands, etc., then finally turning it off when I was done.  I really tried to 
close the taps quickly, but even then, as the valve heated up with hot water, 
its flow rate would change, leading to more adjustments.  

In the end, I just replaced it with this:  
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XV3PEKY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8=1
It required a larger single-center hole than the old one (1.5" vs. 1"), but 
that was easy to remedy with a dremel.  

It took a little over an hour to replace, and its now really nice to get the 
right temperature on & off with a single pull, not to mention I'm sure I'm 
saving a lot of water as I just get my hands wet, shut it off, soap, and then 
turn it on to rinse.
Unfortunately, it is hard to get to the underside of the faucet in the head of 
our 37/40+ due to the holding tank configuration.  If it was easy, I would 
replace that one as well.
Hoping you find this helpful,  

Bruce Whitmore

Hello everyone:
I have a bit of an issue on my 1973 C 30 Mark 1. my forward water tank
underneath the v-berth has two small pieces of copper pipe protruding from
the tank, originally it had a hose attached to it that would lead to the
pump and the faucets. I would like to change out the hose to PEX tubing,
but I cannot figure out what size pex fitting to use. I have tried 3/8 15mm
1/2 inch with no success. Has anyone ever tried this or have any
suggestions on what to do.
Any help is greatly appreciate it.

Cheers
Tom

you can also get Copper Tube x Pex Barb fittings and use the pex 
clamps.  It's a smaller, cleaner fitting in my opinon.


I'm about to switch my whole boat over to pex for the water supply

I have used these in the garden for water lines, and they will pop off when 
exposed to hard weather. Beware, and be sure to get good ones. My son is a 
plumber and swears by them, but his must have been  a better quality than the 
ones I bought.

A second on Sharkbite.  I used them for the first time on a home plumbing 
project last weekend and they worked perfectly.  I had to disassemble some 
older fittings, which came apart easily even without the special tool 
(adjustable wrench trick on YouTube).  Cut Pex with hacksaw rather than special 
tool.  Re-assembly had no leaks at new or old sharkbite fitting.  Learned an 
important lesson from lots leaks at threaded PVC fittings.  Don’t use teflon 
tape on threaded fittings!  Use threadseal compound (Rectorseal).  Dave
