Holding tank vent
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2017 12:49 pm
I'm putting in a new waste (head) water holding tank system. I've determined that a Moeller 20gal tank will fit in the forward berth area. That area is divided by PO into an upper section (nearest to the bow) and a lower section (nearest the bulkhead in the 'dressing area'. It is that lower area where the 20gal tank will fit/be located.
I need to run a vent line from the new tank and had anticipated using a Shield's 5/8" sanitation hose. Where I'm a bit stymied is what type of vent fitting to place in the hull, just under the gunwale on the starboard hull.
- Anyone have any suggestions on vent type? I'm looking at a Perko 90 deg gas tank vent but that has a zinc alloy body and that concerns me - potential corrosion issues<?>.
- Should there be some type of charcoal cartridge in the vent line?
- Other considerations?
Thx,
Bill
