Plumbing

From the inlet thru hull to the boost pump module and from the boost pump module to pump module inlet use supplied clear 3/4 (19mm) spiral suction rated hose. The outlet of the filter assembly on the main module to the Clark pump assembly is under pressure. Use the sup- plied braided clear vinyl hose rated to 150 PSI (11 bar). From Clark pump brine discharge connector use supplied 5/8 (15.9mm) clear braided vinyl hose.

On the feed pressure side use the supplied Parker 1/2 tube and fittings. Use two grab rings on the 1/2 parker tubing. Refer to the parker assembly instructions.

!!Route all hoses and tubes to prevent kinks and restrictions. Se- cure piping away from moving objects such as engine belts and hatches. Prevent chafe on tubing as required. Test and inspect all piping and hose clamps after several hours of operation.
