Thetford Tecmar EasyFit ECO series electric head
Our fresh water Thetford Tecmar EasyFit ECO series electric head has now been installed. It works and 1st mate says it's wonderful. :)
It took some 7 hours to install. Hardest part was snaking the electrical lines from the forward 12v breaker panel to the head compartment. Wires were pulled through a hole cut in floor of cubby under sink in head room. (see photo)
Installing a new circuit breaker in the 12v circuit breaker panel is a dog as the complete bus bar has to be loosened just to insert a new breaker.
The original raw water hose was capped off with a stopcock valve. This was done to allow a raw water pickup for some other use later on.
The fresh water was teed off with a 90 deg elbow using PEX tubing attached to cold water line under sink in head room. (see photo)
A small bus bar was installed under the sink in the head room to gather and connect all the wires nicely/neatly. (see photo)
A 40amp circuit breaker was used although I could have got by with a 30amp. (see photo)
A small two position rocker switch operates a quick flush or fill bowl with water and then quick flush.
