Hose Installation
Dometic holding tanks are pre-assembled with 38 mm (1 .5 
in .) and 16 mm (0 .625 in .) ID hose connection fittings . If your 
sanitation system uses hoses other than these sizes, you may 
either use fitting adapters to convert from the Dometic fitting 
sizes to your current hose, or install new hose to match the 
Dometic tank fittings .
If installing new hose, Dometic OdorSafe
®
Plus sanitation hose
provides the best protection against hose odor permeation for 
toilet and holding tank discharge lines, and is available in 38 
mm (1 .5 in .) ID only . Dometic MaxFlex™ hose is available in all 
the	sizes	that	are	listed	in	the	Sanitation,	Vent	Hose	Size	Guide	
(right), and provides high-quality odor-resistance .
Diagram	A	indicates	an	incorrect	installation	with	multiple	hose	runs	that	can	retain	trapped	liquids	
and cause hose odor permeation . Diagram B shows a simplified, highly efficient plumbing system 
that can be achieved with Dometic’s specially integrated holding tank system design .
