[C320-list] Fresh water head-flush plumbing

[K L]

I took a different approach to using fresh water to flush the head. I 
recently installed a new Raritan PH-II head and took the opportunity to 
replumb the water intake to the head. My sink drain now runs into a Y-valve 
(Bosworth 94AB-3/4). One line from the Y-valve runs to the head sink outlet 
and the other runs to a T in the head toilet sea inlet. This way I can use 
the sink as it was designed, and the head with sea water as it was designed 
or, I can switch easily to using the sink to supply fresh water to the head. 
If I do use sea water in the head, at the end of the day I can flush the 
entire system with fresh water.
