Marine Plumbing, Pumps & Water Systems

Start by identifying what the pump is used for, such as:

• Bilge water
• Fresh water
• Waste
• Shower drainage
• Deck wash
• Transfer

Then check the voltage, flow rate, hose connections, mounting style, and whether the pump needs to be automatic or manually switched. If you are replacing an old pump, matching the existing model number or specifications is usually the safest route.

Marine hoses are designed for different jobs, including:

• Fresh water
• Sanitation
• Bilge
• Fuel
• Exhaust
• General drainage
  
  The correct hose depends on the application, diameter, pressure rating, temperature resistance, and material. Always avoid using a hose outside its intended purpose, especially for fuel, exhaust, or waste systems.

Skin fittings and seacocks are used where water passes through the hull, such as for intakes, outlets, drains, and on-board systems. A skin fitting provides the through-hull connection, while a seacock or valve allows the flow of water to be controlled or shut off. These parts are important for on-board safety and should be chosen carefully.

Check the tank material, fitting size, thread type, hose diameter, seal type and whether the fitting is for freshwater, waste, venting, filling or drainage. Tanks and fittings can vary between systems, so it is best to confirm the exact purpose and measurements before ordering.

Yes. If you are not sure which pump, hose, valve, fitting, tank part or plumbing component you need, send TMP Global the old part number, photos, measurements, hose diameter, voltage and details of where the part is fitted. This helps narrow down the correct replacement and avoid ordering the wrong part. Get in touch.
