Replacing holding tank hoses on a 10 meter

[phdgh]

Hi I am replacing the holding tank hoses and the only sanitation hoses out there are 1 1/2 inch but they do not fit does anyone have a solution or did anyone replace these hoses?

The hoses are commercially available at any marine store. Take a piece of your hose as a sample to insure you get the same fit.

Make sure you buy SANITATION HOSE.

ALso, "HOSE LUBE" a pink jelly like stuff works better than WD-40 to help ease installation as these connections are really tight.

Double clamp where you can.

I have bought some Trident XHD sanitation hoses from the marine supply but the 1 1/2" hose does not fit its to tight I think I have to find corrugated sanitation hose with the cuffs that was what was on before.

Just noticed your post about the 1 1/2" sanitation hose not fitting. Here's a little trick I found about the white spiral bound hose...Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the hose until it is pliable. Be careful not to burn it. Putting it on or taking it off, once warmed, you have a few minutes to seat the hose. When it cools off, you almost don't need clamps. But use them anyway...Doubled up.

Thank you I will try the heat and see if it works
