Oceanis Plumbing

The fresh water supply plumbing on Oceanis 45 does not seem to be the standard 15mm plastic plumbing that is compatible with the Whale fittings I am used to. Does anyone know of a source for plumbing supplies? I am trying to connect the plumbing hose to a standard garden hose fitting, male one side, female on the other.

I've been to all of these places and they don't carry fittings that fit. They all carry the standard 15 mm Whale fittings which are far too small. Does anyone have information on brands or sources for fittings that work?

I use 1/2" ID barbed fittings, you should be able to find them in any local hardware store.

Continual lacerations from the multitude of doubled up clamps on my water supply hoses made me do a radical replumb so that I could use push-fit fittings. I used 3/8" Pex for all the distribution lines and 1/2" Pex for the run from the tanks to the pump.
