Yet another poor mans Sealand

[Dan3023]

As it seems the norm, I did things just a little from the previous people that did it before me. I trimmed the flanges off the ends of the Icon tank so it would fit snugly between the sink and tub. I bought a different waste gate to make things easy. I needed the 3" threaded adapter to screw into the tank, and 3" rubber coupler and 2 90⁰ 1.5" rubber elbows. I cut up the old plumbing and used the tubes from it to finish the job. I needed a new outdoor shower so I just tapped into the water there. It's vented through the wall with a marine through hull vent. For those that remember my issue with finding something to fit in that vent built into the tank, I just goooed it up good with silicone. It seems the Icon factory had a batch if oversize parts. It was an easier job than I expected. It took me long, but I'm limited in doing things before the pain gets too much. I took days off between doing very little just to let the body rest (stupid fusion surgery!).

Dan, looks good. From the pics you didn't cover or fill in the original hole with anything? I know the tank will cover it, but are you planning on covering it from the outside in the future? Maybe low expansion foam? Having a bad back sucks, but well done.

I already filled it in with some spray foam. I blocked off a little spot so I can still get the clamp off if needed. I them cut some sheet aluminum to fit over it from underneath and used silicone and self tapping screws to cover it up.

I hope that the sides of the tank don't separate from the top, where you cut that flanges off.

To me it looks to be all one piece with no seams to separate. The tank is pretty thick, I'm really not worried about it. If it does split, I'll just make one out of fiberglass.

I had the same thought.
