After much thought and a discussion with our Head Mistress Peggy, I have decided to add a pump out option to our porta pottie as not all places have a place to dump it and almost all places do not like you emptying them into a toilet. I don't want to be doing the walk of shame at midnight either as I would prefer to sleep. So I want the option to be able to take it to the pump out and suck it out. Our boat doe not lend itself well to a deck pump out as there is no where to hide the hose or vent and I would really have to chop up the boat to install a hose out of the potti as it is very tight in its storage area.
That said, what I need to know is if I use a uni seal to penetrate the hull of the storage container how to I get to a water tight sealable fitting that I can attach to the pump out suction line? I just plan on cracking the slide valve to vent the tank to keep it from collapsing when I pump it out. I want to keep the fittings as short as possible to the tank and since I don't have much experience in this area I thought I would float this by everyone and see if someone might be able to steer me the right direction as to what fittings I need.
Everything I have found so far uses barb fittings to attach a hose to the tank and then to the deck fitting. I want to skip the hose and barb fitting and connect the pump out fitting directly to the tank.
As far as the pump out fitting goes, does the pump out suction hose just slip in it or does it connect to the pump out fitting via threads or a cam lock device?
Thanks
Sam
