This past weekend elevated my Air Conditioning install to a higher priority. I've figured out where to locate the two units I bought, the wiring is done and I have two discharge through-hulls already plumbed up.
The problem is the water intake. I've got a spare heavy bronze through-hull with a 90 degree 1-1/2" barb connection on it. I'd rather not try to unscrew the 30-plus-year-old fitting out from the through-hull while the boat is in the water, for obvious reasons. But I've verified that the valve opens and closes well.
What I need is some sort of manifold or "Y" connector to get from the through-hull to the two 5/8" barb fittings, one on each of the two sea strainers, which will feed the two sea water pumps (also 5/8").
I found a nylon 1-1/2" barb "T", but not a 1-1/2" to 5/8" barb reducer.
Any ideas?
