Hi all;
A while ago, I saw a photo of a PHII retrofit. The handle, (pump), was installed on the left, (as you look at the unit). Can anyone remember where that picture was?
My concern is the the outlet hose turning the bend to the tank
when the pump is located close to the "wall".
Thanks!

I used the existing outlet hose connection, as discussed in the text with the pictures. I know, different than a C36, but the same issues.
Good luck.

I'm in the process of installing a Raritan PHC which is a compact version of the PHII. The only differences is the PHC has a shorter retractable handle and lacks the cover that dresses up the base of the PHII.
Since none of the bolt holes lined up and I was running short of time, I only was able to test fit the new head after removing the old one. The only hose that might be problematic in my case is the raw water intake, since its on the front of the Raritan pump, but was on the back of the Jabsco. All the other hoses lined up after adjusting the barbs to match angles. I've filled the old holes with thickened epoxy so I just have to bolt the new head in place and attach the hoses. I may need to replace the intake hose to reach the front intake but, I can't see a need to switch the pump to the other side of the head.

You may want to consider just adding a straight 3/4 to 3/4 coupling, then extend the hose and buy the ell you'll need to reach the front intake of the pump. See the pictures in my link above. After 13 years with a series of W/C Head Mates, this new head is fantastic.

Thanks. My system currently doesn't have an inline strainer so I may add one which would also simplify extending the intake hose.
We usually just fill the bowl using the faucet spray nozzle, and pump dry to keep odors down, but I want to have the option to flush with raw water if we have to.
