PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND HOSE LAYOUTS
IF SEALAND HTS-BASIC TANK FITTINGS ARE NOT ASSEMBLED TO TANK, FOLLOW THESE STEPS.
When connecting flexible hose to plastic fittings, use Dometic
Hose Lubricant or silicone grease on end of fitting and inside
hose end to make connection easier.
Do not use any other lubricants, sealants or adhesives when
connecting sanitation hoses and plastic fittings.
Do not restrict the ability to pull the hose or pipe.
EXCELLENT
Avoid binding corners and sharp bends.
Do not use wire ties to secure the hose or pipe.
Support flexible hose every 12 inches
(.3 m), and support rigid pipe every 5 feet
(1.5 m).
When creating new holes, avoid
reinforcement stringers and tabs.

3-inch cap – inspection port
1. Place cap into 3-inch (76 mm) threaded hole (fig. 1 ) and tighten until hand-tight.
2. Using spanner wrench or large channel locks, tighten cap until very little or no black seal is visible above inlet port (fig. 2 ).
3. To remove cap for tank inspection, use spanner wrench or large channel locks.
Inlet and discharge elbow fittings
1. Apply threaded plastic pipe sealant around threads of elbow (fig. 3 ).
2. Tighten elbow into desired fitting on tank (fig. 4 ).
3. To properly position elbow to receive sanitation hose, turn elbow only
in clockwise direction (fig. 4 ). (Turning the elbow in
opposite direction may loosen connection and cause leakage.)
4. Make sure to connect waste discharge hose(s) to fitting(s) marked as
“Waste Only.”
5. When connecting sanitation hose to plastic elbows, use silicone
grease on end of fitting and inside hose end to help make connection
easier and leakproof. Be sure to use two hose clamps to secure each
connection.
