Sanitation Hose Fittings

[John T1594]

I am planning to replace the permeated sanitation hoses on my 2000 H340. Where the hose enters the head compartment I need a 45 degree barbed hose connector. Do you know of any sources? I have checked sbo.com; Sealand; West Marine, etc. but they only have the 90 degree fittings.

SeaLand has a 45...you must have missed it 'cuz they don't show it in the list of "kits." Scroll to the bottom of the page to find it.

See # 307341104 PVC 45 degree street ell. They only show the 90 as a "kit"...to create a 45 "kit," you'll also need one custom hose adaptor # 307341513.

Give 'em a call Tues morning to order: 800-321-9886

What is the best way to remove an old 1 1/2 inch hose and attach a new one. I am want to know the best way to heat the hose end to soften it without damage to detach and attach at the fittings.

Blow dryer is the safest way to heat hose without risk of overheating

Warming the old hose makes it a LOT easier to pull of a fitting (unless some misguided soul has used a sealant)...warming the new hose and a little K-Y helps the new hose to go onto a fitting reasonably easy. Double clamp all your connections...screws 180 degrees apart.
