Slowly, but surely, I'm putting my 35.5 plumbing back together using a lot of the information from other owners who have done it before and advice you have given to all of us along the way. Thanks so much Peggie. I want to use the SeaLand "custom hose adapters" that are glueable and easier to get the AVS96 hose onto. Which 90 deg. elbows do I use to attach to the tank? Are the ones from a hardware store (threaded one end) the way to go? Teflon tape on the threads? If I go with a top mount discharge fitting with dip tube, is there a chance the dip tube can separate from the fitting and drop down inside the tank? If so, what does one do when that happens? I REALLY only want to do this once!!!
