Good Evening all,
I really hope someone can assist me with a solution to this problem.
We are currently installing a waste system on a boat that has a permanent mooring, It will not be leaving this position. We have a large waste pump located downstairs with a 110mm black waste pipe coming out of it, this is the main waste pipe.
Our current issue is with the transition between the shore and the boat. Currently there is a pipe (I think it is an old pump pipe) with a male nylon coupling on the end, I measured the pipes OD at 60mm?? I am unable to measure the internal, and im not sure on the thread size, TPI etc (This fitting can be removed to fit an alternative better solution).
To add to the madness, my boss wants to make sure that we can gain access if there was ever a blockage, hes initial idea was to have an overflow. This overflow would be an extra pipe that can bypass the waste whilst we can work on the system at the transition if there was ever a problem, and not have to shut down the toilets. This extra pipe would dangle of the side of the boat and go straight into the river, he changed hes mind after I said its illegal and could suffer a great fine. not to mention its just wrong.
Solution?
I am wondering what the best solution would be to connect the 110mm waste with this threaded fitting. I can replace this fitting with an alternative fitting if that solves the problem. However, Ive searched reducers and all manner and type of fitting that I think might work but I cannot find any way that a 110mm can fit to a 60mm pump pipe, it seems they are incompatible on every level. I found some slurry cam valves but they just have barbed ends that fit on to another 60mm pipe.
I have added some pictures to show the concept as my description is not very good.
I look forward to receiving some great Ideas or suffering shocking embarrassment, through my ineptitude at understanding black water concepts.
Anyway again thanks in advance.
