Application
Talamex electric toilets can be installed in both sail- and powerboats above or below the waterline, for use on sea, river, lake or canal. The waste can be
discharged either overboard (please have in mind national or local restrictions), into a treatment system or into an on-board holding tank.
!Note: Talamex electric toilets are designed specifically for marine use. Consult Lankhorst Taselaar for advice about possible non-marine applications.

Available in 4 different options; Standard 12V or 24V, Large 12V or 24V
Multi angle 360° discharge elbow for easy installation
Soft close plastic seat and lid
Combined pump for flush- and wastewater
Silent operation
Strong swirl action for efficient flushing
Smooth design for easy cleaning and hygiene
Flexible hole pattern on the base, for easy substitution with the most common toilets on the market

Innovative spray nozzle maximizes hygiene thanks to the high pressure water jet
General Installation instructions
The Talamex toilet is only one part of a bigger system. Correct installation of the whole system is essential if you want the toilet to operate reliable,
safe and perform properly.
You need:
•
19mm (¾") internal bore spiral reinforced flexible hose for the flushing water inlet.
•
25mm (1") or 38mm (1½") internal bore spiral reinforced flexible hose for the waste water discharge.
•
19mm (¾") seacock for the flushing water inlet and if you discharge overboard a 25mm (1") or 38mm (1½") seacock for the waste water discharge.
•
Stainless steel hose clips. Tip; preferably use two hose clips per connection!
•
Stainless steel bolts: 4 pcs, 8mm (5/16") diameter with enough length to suit the thickness of the mounting surface.
•
Stainless steel nuts: 4 pcs preferably self-locking. If you do not use self-locking nuts you need to add locking compound on the screws/nuts.
•
Stainless steel washers: 8 pcs, large diameter, but not more than 21mm (13/16") in diameter
•
Silicone sealant, white.
•
Vented loop(s), dependant on installation location of the toilet, please refer to the installation instructions.
Location
•
Select a location that will give sufficient clearance all around and above the toilet and make sure that there is space to mount the control panel
and access to the hose connections.
•
Make sure that the mounting surface is flat and can be accessed from below to tighten the mounting bolts. The mounting surface should rigid
and strong enough to support a person's weight and should be at least 50mm wider and deeper as the base of the toilet.
•
The seat and lid should be able to open to at least an angle of 110° to prevent falling forward while sailing.
•
Avoid sharp bends in the hoses, this might cause the hoses to become kinked which can cause leakage and/or limited flow of water/wastewater.
•
Secure the hose runs so that the hoses cannot move, nor chafe and leverage action on the hose tail fittings to which they are connected, as this
may cause adjacent joints to leak. Tip; if the hose does not go easy onto the hose tails of the toilet or the seacocks, soften the hose by dipping its
end in hot water!
•
Keep all hoses pipework as short as possible, unnecessary lengths just make the toilet harder to pump.
•
Ensure that the inlet seacock is positioned where it will be below the waterline at all times when the craft is under way.
•
Ensure that any outlet seacock is both aft of, and higher than the inlet seacock.
Possible installation
In general there are 2 possible alternatives for the toilet installation.
1.
Toilet below waterline discharge overboard & toilet to waste holding tank, discharge elbow below holding tank (see image 1.1).
2.
Toilet above waterline & toilet to waste holding tank, discharge elbow above holding tank (see image 1.2).
Alternative 1: Below the waterline
•
A 19mm vented loop must be fitted between seacock and pump. Make
sure that the vented loop is fitted at least 20cm above the waterline (when
heeled over). Run the inlet hose by the most direct route from the inlet
seacock to the flushing pump inlet tail.
•
A 25mm or 38mm vented loop must be fitted at least 20cm above the
waterline or holding tank (when heeled over). Run the outlet hose from the
toilet to the vented loop and run a hose from the seacock or holding tank
to the vented loop.
•
Fit the vented loops at the highest point.
