Waste system pipes

[acropolis22]

Has anyone had to change the pipework and valves underneath? Previous owner changed drains to UK nearside. Poorly. Weird materials and leaks. Any suggestions for best source of pipes and ball valves? The sheer variety of non matching systems and sizes is driving me mad. It's a G650L.

Have a look at CAK Tanks they keep most of the bits continental Motorhomes use.

After a tyre blow out ripped off my waste tank drain and valve, I got replacement parts from a local koi carp stockist. Normal plumbing supply shops didn't keep any of the sizes I needed.

Pilote like most French manufacturers use 40mm OD pipework which is not the same as UK standard waste pipe.

Link to eBay vendor who has all the pipe and fittings you should need.

Pardon our interruption...

I installed an electric dump valve to our van and had reducers 3d printed to fit the random size pipe used by rapido

Yes, you are right. I'm finding this out the hard way.

My German van uses 40mm solvent weld pipe and fittings. Search eBay.

My pilote has a manual drain which you pull to open unfortunately it’s in the centre of the van. It is a weird size any ideas of an adaptor to push in hole which will allow me to use a fully serviced pitch.

A number of Continental use 40 mm which gives better draining and filling. My water inlet is 40 mm as is the drain from waste and fresh. You have to keep to the side of the drain pipe when opening the valve otherwise you get very wet feet.

Does it have a bayonet fitting on the exposed end. Mine does which means a length of 40mm flexible pipe comes in handy when draining into the dump in that you do not have to be over it on the site just within range of the flexible

Thanks for the suggestions

If you need something special made, let me know. We are off to Spain at the end of the month, so if you do need something don’t leave it toooo late in the month.
