Dometic VacuFlush 5000 Series Vacuum Toilet Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant, and I've reviewed the Dometic VacuFlush 5000 Series Vacuum Toilet installation guide. This document provides comprehensive instructions on how to install the system, including details about water supply, discharge piping, and electrical requirements. I'm ready to answer your questions about the installation process or any other specifics from the guide.
  • What is the required flow rate at the toilet?
    What is the maximum horizontal run between the toilet and vacuum generator?
    What size hose clamps are needed for the discharge hose?
    What is the minimum inside bend radii for OdorSafe Hose?
