Hi Aaron

There are 1-1/2″ vented loops for heads. There are also 1″ vented loops. My suggestion is to adapt the 1-1/8″ to 1-1/2 and use for the rest of the line. Your suggestion for the whole system is a really good one!

I am redoing all of the bilge pumps/hoses on Ra.

Currently, I have 3 thru-hulls, about 10″ above the water line where the 2 electrics and the manual exit.

I thought it would be prudent to install a vented loop high in the transom, to eliminate the possibility of water siphoning in the even that the boat taking on water lowered the thru-hulls, bad following seas etc.

Here’s my problem, the larger (2000gph) electric pump uses 1 1/8″ hose, and I can’t seem to find a vented loop in that size (or even close)

How would you-all recommend tackling this problem?
