The Groco HF-B is a marine toilet from the HF Series with a bronze base. It is worked with a T-handle and uses a valve system designed to need little flush water. It takes a 3/4 inch hose on the inlet and discharges through a 1-1/2 inch hose with a 180 degree swivel. It measures 12.44"H x 17.29"W x 16.84"D and weighs 32 pounds.
Our take
The bronze base and 32 pound weight make this a solid, planted toilet, and the maker pitches it for rough water. The 3/4 inch inlet and 1-1/2 inch swivel discharge set the hose sizes you need to plan for.
From our buying guide
A vessel with installed toilet facilities must have an operable marine sanitation device that is labeled or certified. EPA says untreated sewage may not be discharged within three miles from shore, and in a No Discharge Zone treated sewage may not be either.
Check before you buy:
- You have what it needs, since heads may call for 12-volt power, through-hulls and seacocks, or a separate vacuum source.
- It fits the compartment, since Jabsco says an electric toilet needs more space at the rear than a manual one.
- If it could sit below the waterline, you'll fit a vented loop as the maker specifies, since Jabsco warns the vent, not the loop, is what stops the siphon.
