MOD Added Banjo quick-couplers to the Sani-Con hose today!

[TJ&LadyDi]

Could you use one of these, @ARD?

EDIT: Didn’t see that this is a 1” hose; too small. Sorry for the false start.

The Banjo fittings and my home-brew adapter are working great here in Polson.

Curious what you used between the Banjo 90 angle and the sewer connection (the orange and white pieces)? I used a sewer plug, drilled a whole in it for the 90 degree bango fitting and put a big nut on the underside. Unfortunately I can only get the nut so tight, so when I grab the 90 degree bango fitting to screw it into the sewer drain, it slips as the friction increases. So, I either need to find a way to tighten it more so it doesn't slip or look for a better adapter.

It was a bit of a lash-up, though it did turn out looking pretty good! The ID of the sewer adapter I used is 2.75" and the thread on the Banjo elbow is 1.5" IPS.

I used a 1.5" IPS threaded x 2" IPS slip fit PVC bushing inserted into a 2" IPS slip x 3" IPS PVC slip bushing. I chucked that assembly into my lathe (I am fortunate to have a small machine shop at the sticks&bricks) and turned the OD down to fit the ID of the sewer adapter fitting. I think it might be possible to find a combination of sewer adapter and PVC fittings to accomplish the same thing without lathe work, however. I just grabbed what I could find at the local hardware store and made it fit.

Thanks, that’s helps. It gives me an idea of drilling a hole through the lip of the banjo 90 adapter and the 4” plug and installing a split pin, or using the dremel to alter the lip on the 1.5” nut on the underside of the plug so I can tighten it a bit more.

This project had been on the to-do list far too long and I had all the parts in hand (well, most of them), so today was the day. Easy job! In addition to putting fittings on the hose connected to the Sani-Con unit, I also fitted out a spare hose with Banjo fittings as well. What I wasn't able to do...yet...was to put the Banjo fittings between the pump and the connected hose. I need to order one additional set of fittings for that. My math skills failed me when I ordered fittings.

For this project, I used the Banjo 150 series Polypropylene Cam and Groove fittings with hose shank ends...

...and, some 1.5" ID black silicone radiator hose...

This short (1 foot) straight hose is designed to add a flex joint to your custom cooling system. Stealth black silicone rubber with 3-ply reinforcement. 38mm nominal ID fits over 1 1/2" OD tubing.

Stainless steel radiator hose clamps were on hand in my shop. I shortened the hose shank on the male fitting on the Sani-Con sewer connector end to reduce the overall length a bit. This made getting that fitting down through the sewer hose port in the floor of the wet bay.

Here are a couple of photos:

We have two extra sanicon hoses, all with banjo fittings and protective wrap as we frequently stay at our daughter's hose where I put a pad in 8 or 9 years ago. I installed water and 50 amp next to the pad, but sewer access is behind the coach about 30 feet from the wet bay. Still it works great using th 2 additional hoses. I carry one extra hose when we travel as we have been to a number of locations where the factory hose is not long enough to reach the sewer behind the coach including our lot in the desert.

Perhaps it’s in this thread somewhere and I missed it, but why are these hoses so susceptible to leaks?

 

[Neal]

I want to remove the banjo fitting on the sewer end of my sani-con hose so I can remove the protective sleeve. I have a leak I want to try using rescue tape on before ditching this hose for a replacement I have on hand if needed. Rescue tape worked in one other area so I'm not ready to throw away these expensive hoses too quickly.

Can't seem to get the banjo fitting off the sewer end. Any tips on getting this thing out of the hose? I believe it has the barbed fitting on the end which is working very well. May have to order extra banjo fitting parts if this is now permanent.

I had the exact same situation and had to use the blade of a screwdriver (twisting between fitting and hose end) to gradually work my way around the hose to free it. After peeling back the cover, I was able to wrap the rescue tape around the hose and stop the leak...probably stronger now than it ever was.

A heat gun is required. If you don't have one, use a hair dryer.

If you don't have one of those....get one

 

[Neal]

I have a heat gun, I'll give it a try, thanks. I thought about the prying in a screwdriver too. Good to know this thing holds at least.
