Getting a right angle fitting on a seacock in tight spot

[Ryban]

When I replaced all our thruhulls and seacocks with TruDesign composite fittings, I realized I was going to have to re-think the discharge routing from our toilet/holding tank, as the cabinetry prevents me from screwing on a right angle fitting.

Any suggestions here? I think if I could remove the trim on the cabinetry, I could notch a large enough hole that would be covered by the trim, to turn on this fitting. However, it looks to me that the trim is glued in place, so I don't think I can remove it.

The other option would be to attach a right-angle fitting to the straight barb fitting with a short length of hose. Obviously not ideal. The height I do not think is an issue as I can raise the hose feeding into it slightly to bring it all level.

How you gonna close that door?

I'm assuming that "A" your back in the water, and "B" those two white hoses are what you will be attaching to. It's a bit hard to tell by the pic what clearance you have, but how about a straight fitting pointing upwards from your thru hull and install the 90-degree fitting on the white hose and loop it over to the thru hull. You may have to trim back the white hose a bit to make the hose curvature but from what I see you do have some room to trim it back. Just a thought.

I would make an "upside-down U" shaped loop out of Raritan Sani-flex, which will bend around a 6.5" diameter cylinder, to connect your straight thru-hull to whatever y-valve or T you plan to install.

I would then install 2-3 neoprene cushioned stainless steel clamps to hold the Raritan hose in place.

Delete the 90' fitting, cut a section of hose long enough to make the connection, warm with a hair dryer to fit the curve and slip over the barbs?

Option 1: Shorten the right angle fitting just enough to thread it on. You will still have plenty of hose clamping area.

Option 2: If you are still out of the water unthread the valve from the through hull fitting. Thread on the right angle hose fitting and then hold it in the proper orientation while a second person screws in the through hull from below.

Not a big deal, in the old days swivel fittings were common, but like many things common sense is not so common.
Anyway, give the Guys at Spartan Marine a call, they'll probably fix you up.

If possible.don't use 90's in drain lines. Use two 45's instead.
