Full details

The Dometic Angled Waste Fitting SMEV AC540 is a specialized plumbing component designed for caravan and motorhome owners looking to maintain an efficient drainage system. This siphon excels at preventing greywater odors from entering your living space through a robust angled design, though users should ensure their existing waste plumbing matches the 20mm diameter specification before installation.

FAQs

Does this fitting come with clamps?

The fitting is generally sold as the siphon unit itself; you may need to source appropriate 20mm hose clamps locally.

Can I use this with 25mm pipe?

No, this fitting is precision-engineered for a 20mm diameter connection. Using the wrong size will lead to leaks.

Is this suitable for greywater tanks?

Yes, it is designed specifically for standard caravan and motorhome greywater drainage systems.

How do I prevent the siphon from freezing?

During winterization, pour a small amount of RV-safe antifreeze into the drain, or ensure the system is completely cleared of water.

Does it matter which way the angle faces?

Yes, the angle should be positioned so that the exit pipe allows for a gravity-fed downward flow toward the waste tank.

Troubleshooting

Slow drainage from the sink

Check the siphon for physical obstructions like food particles or debris and ensure the waste tank vent is not blocked.

Persistent odors in the cabin

Verify that the fitting is installed at the correct angle to maintain a water seal; if the system is dry, the siphon effect will fail.

Minor leaks at connection point

Ensure the 20mm pipe is fully seated and tighten the securing clip or re-apply plumbing-grade sealant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents back-flow of unpleasant odors
  • Compact angled design for tight spaces
  • High-quality construction suitable for mobile use
  • Easy to integrate into standard RV plumbing

Cons

  • Requires specific 20mm diameter piping
  • Not compatible with larger household plumbing systems
  • Requires proper orientation for the siphon effect to function

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your waste pipe is cut cleanly to accept the 20mm connection. Use appropriate plumbing sealant or jubilee clips to ensure the connection is watertight. Regularly inspect the fitting for sediment buildup, especially after long periods of storage, to ensure the water seal remains clear. If the vehicle is being winterized, ensure the siphon is drained to prevent freezing and potential cracking of the plastic housing.
