macerator by pass

So the Frenco fitting goes right over the outer coupling. That really helps. Looks like I’ll break out the Sazall in the next couple of days. I’m thinking if I just add a bayonet mount I can try different options. Thanks for your help

Your wet bay compartment, like all your other mods, looks great.

Thanks.....Yep that Fernco should slip right on the hub that is left after you cut below it. Here is the actual spec sheet with dimensions.

Thinking about the pin hole leaks, I wonder how spraying on some "Flex seal" would work until you get home to do a proper fix. Might be a good thing to keep in the tool box.

I would appreciate some suggestions on the best way to attack this.

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

My pump and RVermont's crapped-out over the summer. I swapped my pump out but I won't do it again. Any more problems and the macerator is history. Please let us know how your refit goes.

Thanks

Here’s a pic where I bypassed my macerator on my Precept. I just installed a new Y pipe. I loosened the clamp on the old pipe and turned it up out of the way in case the next owner wants to hook it back up. Macerator pump only worked half the time anyway. Easy cheap mod and no cutting of any pipe. The Y pipe came with new shut off blades.
