'T' off an existing pump line?

[MooseX]

I'm looking to add an auxilary 1" fill hose off my bow pump line. Tell me how you'd do it. I'd look to use a 1" T with 2 on/off valves but maybe someone has a more tech' solution. I keep calling wavemakers but all I get is that same song on hold...Bitter sweet...bitter sweet lalalala..can't get through

What are you trying to accomplish? This might help to visualize an idea.

I want to 'T' off the bow pump line in the engine comp'...a hose to use to fill/empty our extra sacs. Also to wash off the boat of bird crap and other fecies..bugs...

It would be nice if it were a quick release. I saw a 1" male connector but no female connection on wakemakers..

I sent Wakemakers an email asking if anyone worked there. They called me very soon after I left the message. LOL.
I bought pumps and a bag from them.

My boat has exactly what you are doing. I did it so I could fill extra sacs that were getting filled in the cabin of the boat. I basically built a pvc valve system with two valves one goes to the under the seat horseshoe and the other comes out under the helm with a fitting like you screw into the bags that I attached about 5 feet of hose with quick connect on one end and the snap attachment for the fitting coming out of the helm. It actually works pretty well, but I'm going to add another pump specifically for that fitting so that it's faster to fill the extra 3 sacs I usually fill.

This is what I used on my last boat. Worked great. I found it at my local hardware store and just used garden hose fittings. Its in the gardening section. It's only 3/4 but was pretty cheap. I think I have a 1" y somewhere at home in all my ballast crap.

I used 3/4" pvc ball vaalves and barbs ,I originally had it in the bow but moved it to the rear locker and have better pressure cuz less piping after pump

Flow-Rite V5-2 diverter valve and it can even be remote cable actuated. It will allow you to switch between filling the bow or diverting to the accessory hose. All plumbing can be left hooked up and accessory hose can be stored away and then pulled out when needed.

good ideas. I like Duffy's thing but with a quick release so I can store the hose away

The W736 or W743 just might thread into that Y, but it is probably GHT.

my one idea was to have a 1" female quick release inline with male counterparts on the existing fill line and the auxilary hose. OR have a male inline with females on the 2 hoses.

I could switch between the filling the sac and filling spare sacs using quick release'. Both those would be barbed. Can that be done Cheapthrill'?

Sure. You would just need a Fly High W748 on the outlet side of the pump with a W741 on the hose end feeding the bow sac and then another W741 in the end of your auxiliary hose.

That looks pricey...
