WATER HEATER
Location
A water heater is installed under each lavatory counter in the supply line to the
hot water faucet.
Access
The heater is accessible through the door under the sink.
Physical Description/Features
The heater capacity is one and one−half quarts. Water is heated by a 400−watt
heater consisting of heater elements in the heater tank. A control switch, an
indicator light and an overheat switch are mounted on the outside wall of the
heater tank. Normally, the control switch should be ON and the light illumi-
nated. A pressure relief valve in the side of the water heater tank relieves at
approximately 140 psi.
Operation
A cycling thermal switch in the heater tank regulates water temperature to 52°C
(125°F). The overheat switch on top of the water heater limits the case temper-
ature to approximately 88°C (190°F). If overheat occurs, the switch interrupts
power to the heater and the light. The light will not illuminate if the control
switch is OFF or the overheat switch is open.
Maintenance Practices
If an overheat occurs, the switch must be manually reset. Remove the cover at
the top of the water heater and reset by pressing the center of the rubber cover
over the overheat switch. Reset is indicated by illumination of the light.

WATER AND WASTE B737-300/400/500
38−10
Physical Description/Feature
The fiberglass tank, with a total volume of 40 U.S. gallons on 737−400 air-
planes, (34 U.S. gallons all except 737−400), is enclosed in an insulating blan-
ket. It is installed with bolts attached at four places.
Access
A door in the end of the tank provides access to the quantity transmitter. Ac-
cess to the tank is through the aft cargo compartment.
Power
The quantity transmitter and indicator use 28 volts from dc bus No. 1.
Operation
The indicator has five lights which illuminate to indicate water quantity when a
button on the indicator is pressed.
A float installed around the probe will follow the water level. Inside the float are
three magnets. Inside the probe are reed switches. As the float moves, the
magnets will close the associated reed switch. These reed switches are con-
nected to the indicator lights so that:
An empty tank will turn on the EMPTY light only.
A 1/4 full tank will turn on the EMPTY and 1/4 lights.
A 1/2 full tank will turn on the EMPTY, 1/4, and 1/2 lights.
For Training Purposes Only
A 3/4 full tank will turn on the EMPTY, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 lights.
A full tank will turn on all lights.

Physical Description/Features
Air passes through the following components before entering the water tank:
A filter
A pressure regulator
A pressure relief valve
Operation
The pneumatic manifold supplies bleed air from engine number one, engine
number two, and the APU.
On some airplanes high stage bleed air from the engine number one is the
primary air supply.
On some airplanes an electrical compressor supplies air pressure when en-
gine bleed or APU bleed air pressure is decreased less than 18 psi.
The air pressure will be routed:

TOILET SYSTEM
Operation
When the flush control is activated, the motor operates a pump inside the tank
and pumps water into the bowl flush ring. The motor drives a filter drive pinion
shaft which rotates a filter basket. The basket surrounds the pump inlet to pre-
vent objects entering the pump inlet. A fixed wiper blade on the outer surface of
the impeller housing keeps the surface of the basket open. On aircrafts without
drain mast fluid in excess of the 17 U.S. gallon capacity will overflow through
the drain tube into the 15 U.S. gallon auxiliary toilet tank.
Control
When the flushing switch is pushed, a circuit is completed to energize a relay
and provide power to the flush motor for the timed interval. Reversing of the
flush motor is accomplished by a change over relay to reverse phases A and B.
The flush motor runs for 10 seconds during each flush cycle.

Location
The toilet waste tank is under a shroud in each lavatory.
Physical Description/Features
The shroud covers the tank and contains the toilet seat and cover. Each tank
consists of a fiberglass tank with a laminated stainless steel/fiberglass top. The
forward and aft toilet tanks are not interchangeable.
Flushing equipment consists of a flush handle, timer, motor, pump, filter, and
related tubing. All these items, except the flush handle and timer, are attached
to the top of the tank. The flush handle and timer are located on the cabinet
above the toilet. A stainless steel toilet bowl is attached to the tank top. The
bowl is fitted with a hinged separator between the bottom of the bowl and the
tank. A perforated flush line is used for tank cleaning.
The tank is held in position by three tie−down rods. It is positioned over a drain
hole in the floor and connected to an exterior drain line.

necting the water line to the ground flush line connection on the external
service panel. A minimum of 5 U.S. gallons of water should be used.
Close the drain valve by releasing the drain valve control handle.
Pump into the tank water with a solution of deodorant, dye, and disinfectant.
− NOTE: The total chemical precharge quantity is shown on the service
panel placard (The suggested amount 2 gallons).
Disconnect ground cart hose.
Close the drain outlet cap.
Servicing
A separator at the bottom of the toilet bowl hides the waste in the tank from the
passenger’s view. The flushing operation keeps the separator clean. During
servicing, the separator should be in the UP position. If it is not, a check should
be made of the flush operation and the separator pulled back to normal posi-
tion.
Each toilet tank and the aft auxiliary tank should be drained, flushed with clean
water, and serviced individually.
The ground cart service hose is connected to the service panel external drain
fitting. At the forward service panel, the drain valve control handle is pulled to
open the ball valve and the drain valve. The handle is turned to lock it in the
open position. At the aft service panel, pulling the drain valve control handle
opens the tank drain valve.
When the toilet tank is completely drained, the flush line cap is opened and
clean water is pumped into the tank through the ground flush line connection. A
minimum of 5 U.S. gallons of water should be used.
The drain valve and the ball valve are closed by turning and releasing the drain
valve control handle.
Water with a solution of deodorant, dye, and disinfectant must be pumped into
the tank as a precharge.
NOTE: The total chemical precharge quantity is shown on the service panel
placard (The suggested amount 2 gallons).

Location
The ball valve is located between the toilet drain valve and the forward service
panel drain valve. The valve is only in the forward toilet tank drain line and is in
the electronic equipment compartment, forward of the E1 rack.
Physical Description
The valve consists of a spherical ball enclosed in a spherical housing. The in-
ner spherical ball mechanically opens and closes when the valve positioning
lever rotates. Pulling the drain valve control handle at the forward service panel
will rotate the valve positioning lever through a cable assembly. The toilet tank
drain valve is connected to the upper arm of the valve positioning lever through
a cable assembly.
Operation
Pulling the drain valve control handle on the service panel opens the ball valve
and the toilet tank drain valve.

gized, thereby switching to the 28 Volt AC power supply for low heat ground
operation to prevent the heater from overheating and possibly burning out the
heating element. Additional protection against overheating of the drain masts is
provided by the external power sensing relay which prevents inadvertent ap-
plication of 115 Volts AC to the heater during maintenance in the event the air-
plane is raised on jacks. The external power sensing relay is energized when
external power supplies the airplane.
