Hose reducers....

[NYSail]

hello all...... looking for a good source for hose reducers for head..... 1” id to 1.5” Id. Found some but they did not specify “marine waste” and was wondering if I was missing in my search. It’s a jabsco quiet flush electric heading into holding tank.

Thanks!

Any hard PVC fitting is acceptable for use in sanitation systems. Sched 80 is preferable because it's thicker and not as brittle.

Both Raritan and Jabsco offer toilet discharge fittings that will accept both 1" and 1.5" hose. And despite all the arguments to the contrary, there's no difference in flush water "performance." So the easiest solution just might be to replace the toilet discharge fitting instead using a reducer to upsize the discharge hose to fit the hose fitting on the tank.

Not sure if it will cross over and fit the jabsco, but my raritan sea era electric head came with an outlet fitting that could fit 1" or 1 1/2" hose.

Edit: see Peggie beat me to it...what she said.
