Marine Toilet, Manual
Applications
SPX Flow Technology Sweden AB Comfort and Compact bowl manually
operated marine toilets can be installed in both power and sailing craft,
either above or below the waterline, for use on sea, river, lake or canal.
The waste can be discharged either overboard (please have in mind
national or local restrictions), or into a treatment system or into an on-board
holding tank.
Note: SPX Flow Technology Sweden AB manual toilets are designed spe-
cifically for marine use. Consult your SPX Flow Technology Sweden AB
retailer for advice about possible non-marine applications.

Installation instructions, General

Through hull fittings
You need:
19 mm. (3/4") bore seacock for the flushing water inlet and, if you are dis-
charging overboard, a 38 mm. (1 1/2") bore seacock for the waste outlet.
• Keep to the seacock manufacturer's instructions concerning
materials and methods of installation
• Ensure that the inlet seacock is positioned where it will be below
the waterline at all times when the craft is under way and also
ensure that any outlet seacock is both aft of, and higher than the
inlet seacock
Pipework -selection of the correct method
You must select the correct installation method for the inlet pipework from
2 possibilities and for the outlet pipework from 4 possibilities, accord-
ing 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.
General instructions for all possible
installations
You need:
• Spiral reinforced smooth bore flexible hose for both the 19 mm.
(3/4") internal diameter inlet and the 38 mm (1 1/2") internal
diameter outlet hose
• Stainless steel hose clip
• Secure the hose runs so that the hoses cannot move, nor exert
any leverage action on the hosetail fittings to which they are
connected, as this may cause adjacent joints to leak.
• Avoid sharp bends in the hoses since this might cause them to
become kinked
• Keep all pipework lengths as short as possible while you are
carrying out these operations Unnecessary inlet or outlet hose
lengths just make the toilet harder to pump.
Tip: Should it be difficult to fit the hose onto the hose tails of the toilet or
the sea cocks, soften the hose by dipping its end in hot water
CAUTION:
• Do not apply flame to hoses
• Do not apply flame or heat to the plastic hose tails of the toilet
• Do not apply sealing compounds to any hose connection
• Secure all hose ends to the hose tails with preferably two stainless
steel clips, ensuring that all inlet connections are airtight and that
all outlet connections are watertight.
• The discharge elbow may be rotated 360 deg. to suit your in-
stallation. Always slacken the 2 securing screws, adjust the
discharge elbow to the required position and retighten the 2
securing screws before connecting the hose to it
CAUTION:
Failure to follow this procedure may cause leaks between the elbow and
the pump cylinder
Pipework – Inlet
Alternative 1
Toilet below the waterline
You must use a 19 mm (3/4") Vented Loop fitting.
• Run the inlet hose by the most direct way from the inlet seacock
to the flushing pump inlet tail.
• Remove the white hose supplied with the toilet which connects
the flushing pump outlet tail to the bowl elbow
• Using a spanner, rotate the intake seal so that the elbow points
upwards
• Replace the white hose with a longer length of 19 mm internal
diameter hose and position it in a way that its point is at least
20 cm (8") above the highest possible waterline and fit the vented
loop at that highest point
CAUTION:
Do not position the vented loop between the inlet seacock and the flushing
pump inlet, as it will make the flushing pump difficult or harder to prime, and
could prevent it from working at all.
