This hose connector is a vital component for installing and maintaining your boat’s waste disposal system. It is engineered specifically for the waste pump with code 04678, ensuring that its shape and dimensions match perfectly for a watertight joint. Installation is straightforward – one end of the connector attaches to the pump’s port, while the other end securely holds the sanitation hose (for example, leading to a holding tank or a deck pump-out fitting).
Advantages and usage:
- Prevents Leaks: Proper sealing is crucial in a marine sanitation setup. This connector eliminates the risk of seepage at the connections, protecting your bilge and cabin from unpleasant wastewater leaks and odors.
- Marine-Grade Durability: Made from materials (high-quality polypropylene/nylon) chosen to withstand long-term exposure to saltwater, sanitation chemicals, and waste, the connector won’t crack or deteriorate under harsh marine conditions.
- Universal Compatibility: The fitting adheres to standard marine toilet pump sizes, making it usable with other pump models or systems requiring a similar hose adapter. This flexibility ensures you can integrate it seamlessly into your existing setup.
- Quick Replacement: In case of damage (e.g., cracking due to freezing or stress), swapping in a new connector is simple and takes only minutes. This minimizes downtime of your head system – a critical aspect during voyages or when prepping your boat for the season.
- System Component: The connector (code 04678-2) is typically used alongside a second similar fitting (as many pumps use two connectors) – be sure you have the correct type (straight or angled, if applicable) for the specific installation point on your system.
By equipping your marine waste pump with this hose connector, you ensure your boat’s sanitation system operates at peak efficiency, with no leaks or pressure loss. It’s a small but essential spare part that provides peace of mind on the water – knowing your waste management setup is secure, reliable, and ready to perform at all times.
