Raw Water Vented Loop Location
Kevin
The vented loop anti siphon valve on our 1983 P40 engine's (Nanni) raw water system is in a small cabinet on the starboard side of the galley. I believe that it was installed there by PO to get it above water level on any angle of heel. I need to relocate it, but a better location isn’t obvious. Where do others have the vented loop on their boats?
Thanks,

You are right. There is no better location. I'm surprised the old
one is still working, You can move it into the galley locker up to
the starboard of the sink. Use a Forespar vented loop.. The bleed
valve needs access for periodic cleaning as it accumulates salt
crusting. Most people who don't service it, ignore it at their own
peril. You find out about it when the exhaust pipe back-siphons
into the engine and ruins it.

FWIW… I took Billy’s recommendation and moved the loop into the cabinet under the sink, as far to starboard and as high as possible. The access isn’t as good the previous location, but I can still get to it to check the valve. Now the locker where the vented loop used to live houses a Balmar ARS-5 voltage regulator, all safe and dry.
I appreciate the suggestions.
