No ship is too small... to install an EVAC vacuum toilet system.

If you need an economical and reliable toilet system for your ship (50 feet or longer), choose EVAC. EVAC has two standard models:

Model 0111 — allows you to utilize your ship's hull tank, and;

Model 1111 — includes our atmospheric holding tank.

Both models have the same standard design and components; therefore, you do not pay for special design engineering. You do receive high quality components with a proven history of reliability.

Introduces Two New

Annunciator Designs
