Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23 § 2823

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 43, October 25, 2024

Section 2823 - Design Requirements for Piping and Hoses

All piping/hosing used in the design and construction of a pumpout system shall:

(a) Be designed to withstand any pumping pressure or vacuum encountered without leakage; and

(b) Be constructed of material capable of withstanding solar radiation and chemical action of freshwater, saltwater, chemical additives, and sewage without excessive deterioration.

All fittings shall be of corrosion-resistant material and shall be so constructed and installed as to ensure a water-tight seal. All pumpout systems shall be designed and constructed to have a minimum capability of pumping out vessel marine sanitation devices having 1 1/2-inch fittings. The system shall be designed and constructed to prevent leakage when transferring or when the system is disconnected. This would normally require a minimum of four valves; one on each side of the pump, plus one at the storage tank, and one at the vessel holding tank connection.
