For "above the fill line" stuff (like the drop in, you can get away with it. But anything below surface level should be glued in place (or welded if a metal tank).
Both the grey and black tanks given to me for the build have soft seal grommet-type inputs on the upper face of the tanks.
Thanks.
Yeah the drawing is pretty rough obviously and that previous picture was just a mockup. The tank strainer is before the pump (in this pic you can almost see it center/far right tucked behind that outlet silencer loop on the wall, but it's on the pump inlet feed). Most all of the...
Man, those little plastic check valves are junk. Snapped on in half just handling the section of PEX that it was installed in "No problem, I'll just order another pair". Then I snapped the second one in half just picking up the other 12" run.
So off to fetch some nice sturdy brass check...
Starting to lay out my pex runs....
Need to strap the main water tank
Need to run in a temp 12v and 24v
Need to cut the two vents for the fridge
Need to cut out rear external water outlet (outside shower/hose)
Need to cut out the three drain holes (tank, sink, shower)
Fish are calling and my...
Not mine, of course....
" Up armor camper the hole thing is covered in 3/16 AR plate has a big cam Cummins 400 and a Eaton road ranger 18 speed, 4 wheel steer 8 wheel drive I have a lot of parts to go with it spare bearing and seals for the axles and replacement parts for the motor and 3in...
Yeah, until I settle on a tank build it's going to ground. I'll only have gray water discharge with a 5 gal tank (won't settle on location until I do my underbed boxes on the sides of the rig). The toilet will be a Laveo, so no black tank (but for now I just have a portable camp crapper for...
Yep, everything (including the heater) is above the drain port on the tank and drain.
And at the back of the truck (at the entry/deck) I have a cold water outlet with one of those little outside shower head/coiled hose (for washing sand off dawg and feet). It's standard hose thread and I'm...
Yeah.
But I need to sort out where. My assumption is from the ass-end of the line back towards the tanks/drain. And I need to incorporate an air fitting.
Also, I "think" that I have everything I need to make sure the system drains for winterization (I hear that people actually have to do that north of San Antonio).
The tank drain is below all the line runs, below the heater and the drinking filter system. I have tiny in-line cutoff valves for...
Yep, I saw a slick Kodiak ambo conversion that had it in his tankless setup.
I thought about it for the sink, but the heater is directly under the sink so there's not enough wasted running to hot to worry about there
The shower run is only ~10' of line and I'm installing a bypass valve that...
The heater is secured with an internal frame that's attached to the wall via rivnuts.
Tomorrow I'll build the cradle/base the heater sits on. It will then be held in place with banding strap and a layer of 1/8"neoprene rubber (same way the water tank will be secured).
I have two small vents...
