Yes, trying to "weasel out". Doing the Urban Thing of doing what I do well, getting paid for it, then paying someone else to do what I don't do well. Fittings are already correct and don't need replacing. Hose is $13/ft "no odour" sewage line. Macerator installed (with float-switch interlock and run-dry backup and pushbutton override), Acugage Tank sensor ready to be installed. All fittings on the top of the tank, dual 3/4" vent hoses for flo-thru ventilation... (Don't need a Y-valve because there are virtually no pumpout stations here on the West coast of Canada.) But these damn hoses are winning, dammit! (and the two-week trip up the coast is 1 1/2 weeks away...) You say "rip out the old hose..." OK...you first! ;) Lloyd On Thu, 21 Aug 2003 02:37:33 +0000, Capt. Mooron wrote: > Ha Ha Ha....
