Grey water waste pipe fitting (1 Viewer)

[KittyTabbert]

My grey water tank has a 75mm threaded fitting to attach a waste pipe to but no pipe. There must have been a fitting originally but must have been lost by a previous owner. I can only drain the tank above a grate (pull the handle and it dumps it) and not transport a container to a disposal point. Can anyone offer any advice/ideas? Grateful for any help, not sure if any other old German vans have this type of tank release?

Some people use caravan style waste carriers or buckets.
We always dump over grates or drains except in very cold winter when we use a bucket

Our 1992 Hymer Camp 64 has a pipe that threads into the tank fitting, goes to the back, where a gate valve is attached. I have added a short pipe to the other side of the valve, allowing me to add a piece of flexi pipe for use into the grid, or whatever.
On the Hymers, everything is stored inside the rear bumper, access by spring end caps. Are you sure your 'missing bits' aren't stored somewhere similar? I have come across a few early German vans where the owners didnt know about this storage arrangement. It's not often that owners sell on and remove the grey water pipes.

75mm, are you sure, that is massive !

I'm just aware that not all sites have grates and with such a wide bore, trying to get it into a container will be tricky. Think I may have found a website (seen in another thread) that supplies all the accessories and wide hose so should be ok

This may fit your needs

If anyone has the bits you need it will be CAK Tanks.

Just looked at the bumper but no, unfortunately no storage in there

I think I see something controversial here,,. Why bother just dump it on the site, pipes are only good for putting under the next caravan on the site to blame them for it.


CAK tanks seem to have a huge range of all these kind of things. Look on line and have browse there.

The van we hired in NZ had a pipe around 75mm. You attached it to the grey waste outlet with the same type of fitting used on tankers. It has two handles that are pulled back the fitting is pushed into place and the handles push forward to clamp into place.

You didn't have to screw anything on and was easy to use, when ever we dumped the grey I used the pipe and that looked like a vacuum hose.

Take a picture and measurements to your local pond supply shop/centre. That's what I did and they had the fitments I needed and sold flexible pipe by the foot. I made up both a medium and long pipe.

Some pitches have a drain and it makes life easy to just screw on the waste hose and stick the end of the hose over the pitch drain. Sometimes sites want the grey waste dumped on the hedge instead of down a drain and again a pipe makes this easier.

Thanks Allan, I've found a supplier of the required part and joining hose, very reasonable too!

I carry a Fiamma waste tank , it has a 3" bayonet which I used with our RV and it also has a 5" screw on cap so possible to dump when no drive over possible.
