PLUMBING AND SANITATION
SYSTEMS
The American Coach Patriot is equipped with a comprehensive
plumbing system to provide maximum comfort, utility, and
capability for overnight and extended stay traveling.
Your luxury
coach’s plumbing system conveniently delivers everything you need,
from fresh drinking water, to bathing, and private lavatory facilities�
This section describes in detail how each major component functions,
and what you must do to maintain a sanitary fresh and waste water
system in your coach, as well as how to winterize it�
The plumbing system in your coach is divided into three major
sections: Fresh water; gray water; and, waste (black) water. Each
section has a specific function and is designed to ensure safe water
management� Please read this section fully to familiarize yourself with
the operations and maintenance of the plumbing system installed
in your coach� This will ensure an optimal customer experience and
years of safe and reliable service�
NOTE
The procedures outlined in this section are representative of
the typical coach layout. Plumbing system components and
equipment will vary based on features and equipment that
accompany a wide range of models. Equipment depicted
may also be different from what was originally installed in
your coach, as product enhancements and changes are
made over time.
NOTE
If you cannot find the information needed to safely operate
your coach, if a component is not covered herein, or you
require assistance with a specific function, please contact
our Customer Service and Warranty Department at (574)
522-4878. A product technical advisor will provide you with
assistance directly.
■ CITY WATER SUPPLY
Fresh drinking “potable” water from a “city” water supply (e�g�, from a
hose connected to a potable water source) is delivered into your coach
via a City Water / Fresh Water Tank Fill Inlet, which is located in the
wet bay compartment on the driver’s side of the vehicle, just forward
of the rear wheels� To connect an external water supply, use a clean
water hose designed for potable water transfer to connect from the
water source to the coach� Potable water hoses are readily available
note
note
from your dealership and other sources� Once connected, move the
City Water / Fresh Water Tank Selector Lever to the “City” position�
You may then turn on a regulated water supply to furnish water to the
coach� Water pressure to the coach should not exceed 50 PSI�
■ FRESH WATER PUMP & TANK
A 12-volt DC powered 3 GPM freshwater pump is installed inside your
coach on the driver’s side beneath the side ottoman seat� This pump
will provide pressurized freshwater service at 55 PSI to each faucet
and shower fixture. The pump only activates when drawing water from
the coach’s onboard freshwater storage tank, which is located beneath
the coach�
This constant pressure type pump will activate whenever it senses a
pressure drop on the output side of the pump, provided it has been
turned “on” at the main Firefly network interface display. The pump
should be set to the “Off” mode whenever you are away from the
coach or connected to regulated city water� This will prevent any
accidental flooding of the coach interior, or possible high-water
pressure damage from occurring to the pump�
