[C320-list] Raritan PH-II, was Jabsco Compact Electric Head

[K L]

I agree with you, I would normally want to have nuts and washers. However, 
the Jabsco did not have them. It was held down with 4 screws while the 
Raritan will be held down with 6 screws of the same size. No, you can't 
reach around under the sink, the area is blocked off. I don't know about the 
area behind the holding tank. I would have to remove the tank just to find 
out if I had access. That's a pretty big job.
