wiring to run from the power source and to both the toilet
discharge pump and PAR-MAX rinse water pump.
Because all plumbing and wiring connections at the
toilet are made internally within the china bowl, all
plumbing and wiring must be completed and extended to
the toilet location prior to final installation of the toilet.
Install the toilet seat and lid assembly on the china bowl
with the fasteners provided and position the toilet in its
desired location. When locating the toilet, ensure there is
adequate clearance above the bowl so the seat and lid
assembly can rotate to its fully open position and remain
open on its own. Once the exact position has been
determined, mark the location of the two toilet mounting
holes on the toilet mounting surface and move the toilet
temporarily out of the way. When securing the toilet to a
plywood underlayment below a layer of fiberglass, to
avoid cracking the fiberglass, drill a 5/16
"
(8 mm) hole
through just the fiberglass layer to provide clearance for
the screw threads and shank. Drill a 3/16
"
(5 mm) pilot
hole to accept the threaded portion of the toilet hold down
screw set provided. It is generally best to wait until the toi-
let is ready to be installed for the final time before screwing
the hold down screws into the mounting surface.
The PAR-MAX pump should be mounted to a solid
mounting surface. It should be secured with four fasten-
ers through the rubber grommets that snap into the
pump’s base. Do not over-tighten the mounting screws
and crush the grommets such that they will not absorb
vibration. The pump may be mounted in any position;
however, if mounting it to a vertical surface it should be
oriented so water dripping from a loose port connection
will not drip down on the motor. Plumbing runs should be
kept as short and straight as possible. All plumbing
should be completed with quality 3/4
"
(19 mm) hose that
will not collapse or kink. Route the inlet hose from a
3/4" (19 mm) through hull and seacock fitting located well
below the waterline (and well forward of any discharge
through hulls, if installed) to the pump inlet port. Ensure the
inlet hose passes through an accessible location (prefer-
ably above the vessel’s water-line) that will allow for the
installation of the Toilet Pumpgard strainer where it can be
periodically inspected and cleaned of debris. The
Pumpgard strainer should be secured with two fasteners to
a solid mounting surface with the flow arrow pointing
towards the pump. The inlet hose should be cut and each
end attached to the strainer’s ports. Connect the hose from
the discharge port of the strainer to the PAR-MAX pump’s
inlet port. Connect another length of hose from the pump’s
discharge port to the area at the back of the Designer
Styled Toilet with adequate length to connect with the
3/4
"
(19 mm) hose barb at the back of the china bowl.
If the toilet is installed below the vessel’s waterline, in order
to prevent a siphon action from filling the toilet, a properly
positioned vented loop fitting must be installed between
the PAR-MAX pump and the back of the toilet bowl. The
vented loop fitting must be secured in a location that
remains at least 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) above the waterline
at all angles of heel and trim (see diagram).
The toilet discharge port is sized for 1
"
(25 mm) hose. The
discharge hose should be a quality grade reinforced hose
suitable for waste applications. Route the discharge hose
to the holding tank in the most direct way with as few
bends as possible. To retain some water in the bowl, it is
best to loop the discharge hose up about 8 -10 inches
(15-20 cm) as close to the toilet as practical then on to the
holding tank. Providing adequate length of hose to include
such a loop also will provide the ability to move the toilet
out away from the bulkhead it butts against to complete
the hose connections. It is best to avoid any dips or low
spots in the discharge plumbing that can act as water traps
and collect waste. If this occurs, waste can solidify and
cause a discharge blockage.
Flood hazard. If toilet is installed below the
waterline or may be below the waterline at any
angle of heel or trim, it must be installed with
properly positioned vented loops. Failure to do
so can result in flooding which can cause loss
of property and life.
