Plumbing Continued

Wrapping up the plumbing and thru-hull installation.





This is the bronze 3/4" raw water intake with "screen" and 1 1/2" outlet for the head.
















This is the other side showing the sea-cocks and backing blocks.














This is the 3/4" intake that was originally installed for the water cooled refrigerator.  It will be used to provide sea-water for the galley sink and also for a wash down pump.














And the other side, showing the sea-cock and the new thru-hull for the tri-ducer.




















This is the tri-ducer thru hull with the plug installed.















Starting to look like a sea monster!  Starting from the right.  1 1/2" waste outlet.   From the 3/4" intake the raw water will travel up through a screen filter and up to an anti-siphon then down to a 3-way valve that will direct either raw water or gray water to the toilet.




















Close up of the anti-siphon valve.  It has a solenoid installed to keep the intake primed.  Also shown is the 1 1/2" discharge tube that goes to the waste tank.  Since the waste tank is above the water line, there is no need for an anti-siphon valve.















A better shot of the 3-way valve for the toilet supply.  I need another NPT to barb fitting to make the connection.  Note the arrows!






















This piece of plywood will provide support for the toilet. I put several coats of polyurethane on all sides to water proof it.


















This is my Jabsco Lite Flush electric toilet, temporarily placed to make sure everything is properly placed.  I will place a facade in front of the waste tank and also try to place a piece below the shelf to hide the mechanics below while still providing access to the valves.



















This is just a picture of the bilge pump that will be installed in the galley. Trying to place any wiring and tubing prior to installing the sole.














Speaking of which, I temporarily installed the sole to check out the fit.  Starting to come together.























I also temporarily installed the main cabin sole.  The sole was a bit bouncy under foot.  Not acceptable.  I realized that the fiberglass beneath is not even.

















There is a distinct depression in the middle.  I am applying some floor patch to even it out.














Pretty fruitful weekend.
