   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! ;)
