This hose connector (code 04678-1) is engineered as an integral part of a reliable onboard waste system. Over time, in the marine environment, fittings can wear or get damaged – which is why having a quality spare part on hand is crucial. The connector provides a tight junction between the hose and pump, eliminating any chance of sewage water leaking into unwanted areas.
Features and usage:
- Precision-Made: Manufactured to the specifications of EVAL (the pump’s producer), this fitting mates perfectly with the threads/port of pump 04678. This precision eliminates gaps and ensures that when secured with a hose clamp, you achieve a 100% watertight seal.
- Longevity: The plastic used (a special engineering polymer) is UV-resistant and does not degrade quickly under sun or exposure to fuels. Even during long periods of boat inactivity, the connector maintains its strength and flexibility.
- Works with 12V/24V Systems: The connector’s compatibility is independent of the pump’s voltage – it can be used on both 12-volt and 24-volt versions of model 04678 (if both exist), since the physical interface is the same.
- Fits in Tight Spaces: The connector’s low-profile design allows installation even in cramped plumbing areas. If your hoses run close to a bulkhead or holding tank, this fitting won’t get in the way and can be oriented conveniently.
- Restores Function: In cases like a cracked thread or seepage from an old connector, swapping it out for a new 04678-1 immediately restores your system’s integrity. This prevents bigger issues, such as water ingress into the hull or pump damage due to improper pressure.
Note: Connector codes 04678-1 and 04678-2 are often used together on the same pump (for inlet vs. outlet, or to accommodate different hose sizes). Check your pump’s manual or existing parts to determine which code corresponds to the connector you need (straight or angled), and consider replacing them as a set if required for optimal performance. With this spare connector installed, your sanitation setup will remain secure, leak-free, and ready for extended voyages.
