FloJet water connections: help me understand them please...
Got a Camco, "Pump Converter Winterizing Kit," last fall after I had already winterized. Now, before we get our late start for traveling, I went out to install it. Trying to plan ahead for winter this time. However, I'm puzzled: I see the hose coming up from the floor, (from fresh water tank apparently), and that I understand must be the, "incoming fresh water suction line," I want. But there is no threaded plastic fitting at the pump as I expected. Instead the little elbow seems to, "plug in," to the pump with a blue plastic fitting that has what looks like thumb grips molded into it.
???
Or is this a, "squeeze and pull out, " fitting? If so, it must rely heavily on an O-ring or something. It just looks cheesy to me.
This Camco has a nice looking brass, three-pipe ball valve and a plastic coupler, so if I understand Camco right, I do not have to cut or re-build plastic hoses or lines, just insert this some way using provided threaded fittings.
Can anyone help me understand this please? We leave in two weeks so I'm trying to get everything ready without leaks, etc. The little Flojet leaflet that cam with the TT is of no help whatsoever.
Thanks for any tips,
Dennis
