Where to buy plastic bulkhead fitting for waste tank?

[fredct]

I am rebuilding my black water tank. I have 3 bulkhead elbows (PVC I think) that I would like to replace. Can't seem to find where to buy. I looked at TruDesign (NZ too far) and at Vetus (drawing not clear). I am located in the USA and needs these parts ASAP.


Size 38 mm 1.5 in, rubber gasket, barbed for a hose.



See picture.



Thanks in advance. Can't sail until this is repaired.

Raritan Engineering imports TruDesign and used to show them on their website. Now they still seem to have them, but they're a bit harder to search and find...I may have succeeded:

Peggy - great to hear from you. One would think that head fittings would be optimized for search somewhere! Found out that Vetus is not stocked in the USA. Will check out Raritan. I also found that the search terms should be:


Thru Hull Plastic 1-1.5 IN 90 degrees plastic. Seachoice makes a suitable replacement as does a competitor for Excel Boat (Dimensions are important in my case). Looking for exact dimensional match if possible.


One last comment: The "inside the tank" end can be called Mushroom or Skin Fit. For a bottom drain, Skin is preferred, since it drains a little bit more in principle.



Will update.

Gemlux has a good selection of Trudesign products. They are also great to deal with.

You're looking for a 90 degree, through-hull fitting (mushroom).

A bulkhead fitting is made to connect a run of hose without having to pass it though the bulkhead and risking chaffe.
