This is the new 1 1\2 inch thru-hull, valve. elbow and hose barb we had installed at the Opequimar boat yard. It is to bypass the holding tank while out at anchor.September 2020 - We are currently in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)
This elbow was needed because of the limited space the thru-hull is located. Our current setup has an elbow at the top of the holding tank so one elbow is not a big deal. Also we looked all around and could not find a 45-degree elbow so we had to go with the 90-degree elbow.
Later, before we set sail for cruising South we will connect the 1 1\2 inch sanitary hose to the three way valve and inset the valve in the current line. This way we can bypass the holding tank while anchored all cruising season which is about 6 months!
This is the old 3\4 valve that we replaced.
It was originally used as the old toilet intake for salt water.
The new thru-hull coming out under the boat before it got painted.
