        <![CDATA[ Help!


I am trying to replace the head discharge hoses with the white dometic sanitation hose. The stuff is stiff as board and a royal pain in the butt to manoeuver.
After much pushing and twisting, the admiral and I managed to run the hoses through all of the twists and turns. For the life of me however, I cannot get the
end of the hose over the barb on the holding tank.


The barb is about 3.5 inches long and smooth, but I cannot get much more than 2.5 inches of hose onto the barb.... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ You are talking the forward head or rear head - but ten feet should suffice. I used 8 ft for the rear and the same for the forward head. the same for the vent
- 8ft is plenty unless you want to add extra curliques and yes on mine its 5/8&quot; . Make sure you do this on a nice hot day - ahhh the aroma - the earthy

			<description><![CDATA[ In the past most boats used the black rubber hose that used a barbed fitting that went on without too much effort. When the white sanitation hose came on  the
market everyone had this problem. The internal diameter of the white hose is smaller than the rubber hose. and it does not stretch much You can either replace
the fittings with the smaller white nylon or grind the barbs off so the hose will fit. If you use heat be careful as you can damage the hose by over heating. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks Gentlemen
<br>
<br>
It looks like more heat and a bit of lube when I go back at it this weekend. I hadn&#39;t thought of cable lube, but that might be what the doctor ordered,
although I&#39;ll try Lanocote first because I already have some.
<br>
<br>
I knew getting the new hose on was going to be tough because I quite literally had to cut the old one off, by nipping through the reinforcing wire, one wire at
a time.

			<description><![CDATA[ We warmed ours up with a hair drier - less danger of melting the hose.  You can just stick it in one end and warm the entire hose.  For lube, we used the same
stuff that&#39;s used to lube wires going through conduit.  It doesn&#39;t evaporate as fast as soap, but does eventually go away without leaving anything
sticky.  Garder-Bender #79-006.  Available at Ace Hardware, and probably Home Depot.
<br>
<br>
Not a fun job, but it was doable.

			<description><![CDATA[ The standard hose barbs are 1 5/8&quot; to match standard dimension polyethylene pipe.  Sanitation hose is 1 1/2&quot; ID so unless your boat has special barbs
it&#39;s a tough fit.  If your fitting is white plastic with several ribs it might be the one for poly hose.  Defender carries adapters and connectors for the
sanitation hose.  Here is one for 1 1/2&quot; NPT to 1 1/2&quot; sanitation hose.

			<description><![CDATA[ Addison:
<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t know if it will help you but I have used LanoCote on my hoses for years with no ill, and much good, effect.
<br>
<br>
I would apply it liberally on both hose and nipple, warm the hose (not the nipple, which I might rub with ice just before I try to put the hose on) and give it
a try. I have found that it will ease installation and removal, even on hoses such as exhaust, which can stick to the metal. I also used it on all nuts and
bolts of my deck hardware,... ]]></description>
