ParticipantDoes anyone have any experience with Poly X sanitation hose? Is it very flexible? I’m about ready to wrestle with the head-to-tank hose and replace it. This is supposed to be the best out there, but at $18.69/ft (West) is it all it’s “pumped” up to be?

Dan, This sounds to me like it’s a very high grade product, maybe overkill, but excellent. I think you can use regular saitation hose for a lt less $$$cost.
Joe,
Shields Poly X is considered the ultimate sanitation hose. Easy to slip over most fittings, Poly X combines the flexibility of a rubber hose with the permeation resistance of polyurethane, making it one of the most versatile and durable sanitation hoses on the market.
It is made of smooth white neoprene with two textile fabric plies and features a glossy cover of polyurethane that is abrasion resistant and easy to clean. The Poly X can operate at temperatures ranging from -22 degrees +195 degrees F and comes with Shields’ lifetime warranty against odor permeation.
Available in 12″ lengths with internal diameter of 1″ as well as 12′ and 50′ lengths with internal diameter of 1-1/2″.

ParticipantWe use Sea Land Odor safe with excellent results. I’ve replaced runs of
Shields that were about 5 years old due to permeation. This wasn’t
necessarily an issue with the hose but more with the design of the system
that allowed waste to stand in the hose.Any place you can put schedule 40 PVC instead of hose makes a world of
difference.Chuck

I agree with Chuck, regular DWV hose ( pipe ) is fine. Make sure you specify regular schedule 40 and NOT cell cored schedule 40 PVC as it’s brittle. If you heat it to above 140 degrees you can soften it enough to bend it somewhat.
Joe,

split open on me. Might work well in warm climates though.Rich

Rich,
Was there water in your PVC pipes that split open, or did empty pipes simply
crack from the cold? Isn’t PVC used in home construction in northern
climates?Tor

RichCarterParticipantWater backed up in the pipe. This is pretty easy to happen if water settles
in the pipe. I used PVC many years ago to replace a cocpit drain hose (not
a Pearson). I went out sailing one day to find water running into my bilge
when the boat heeled over. The drain hose was shattered above the water
line.Yes, PVC pipe is used in home construction, but the homes are heated. A
cold night here in the northeast can freeze standing water here in the
northeast unless your boat is heated.Fresh-water would be more of a problem.

ParticipantThe suggestion for PVC was associated with head plumbing. If you don’t
winterize your head yes you could split a PVC pipe, as well as a holding
tank, head pump, flexible plumbing….The only product that should be installed on a sea cock below the water line
or a thru hull that has the potential to sink the boat is J2006E rated hose.Chuck

RichCarterParticipantThanks Chuck
My comment was just a caution about using plastic pipe. Having water flood
the bilge scared the poop out of me. No sanitation hose needed.Regards
