[C320-list] Fresh Water Tank Valves

[Colin Evans]

I have read the informative description by Wes Giles and Walter Burnett and
seen the photos by Jeff Hare.
So now I am ready to move the fresh water tank valves to more accessible
location. The hardest part so far has been trying to get Whale fittings in
Australia. I finally located them at Coffs Harbour. It appears that John
Guest and Whale fittings are very similar but not interchangeable. 
The hot water tank sits on a plastic plinth.  Is there anything inside this
or is it just to level/ lift the tank as I`m thinking of mounting the valves
on the side of that, between the drawer housing as it is easily accessed
through the aft door in the galley cabinet ( not all boats seem to have this
door).  I`m also thinking of putting a filter in the feed line at this point
to try cut any clogging of the filter under the aft bed.
I briefly thought of putting the valves in the useless shelf under the oven,
but I have a fire extinguisher in there.
Any comments would be welcome.
