| Read The The Male External Catheter Relief System for a full discussion of issues you need to consider. |
TravelJohn is a convenient, sanitary and discrete way to deal with urinary relief in flight. The key technology is a substance called Liqsorb®, a biodegradable polymer that immobilizes bacterial growth, absorbs the liquid waste and turns it into an odorless gel. The unisex adapter makes it easy for anyone to use while sitting or standing. A spill guard prevents back flow during use. The pouch is also biodegradable.
| Choose an ad hoc solution or design a complete pilot relief system for your glider. Make it as simple or as sophisticated as you like. Everything you need is here. Read The The Male External Catheter Relief System for a full discussion of issues you need to consider. |
| Use this inexpensive tubing as the main glider relief tube. |
| $0.49 (per foot) |
| Use this flixible tubing between the pilot and glider relief tubes. Think of it as a soft link. It will result in less tugging on the pilot, and, if a push-on connection is used, it will be easier than with stiffer vinyl tubing. The 5/16" size streatches over 5/16" fittings for a tight, reliable fit. |
| $1.67 (per foot) |
| Use the Union Fitting for the connection between the main glider relief tube and the soft link. |
| $0.35 |
| Use the Tee Fitting for connecting a blow-out line to prevent freezing at high altitudes. |

This is the insert side of a quick disconnect fitting. It shuts off the flow when disconected.
Use this fitting on the pilot side of the pilot/glider connection. It will make hooking up to the
glider quick and easy. It has a 3/8” hose barb for attachment to the pilot relief tube.
This provides a tight fit to 5/16” ID vinyl tubing.
This fitting is made of Polypropylene, so it is UV tolerant and chemically resistant, ideal for this application. The Extra Flow design features a high efficiency valve that provides a greater flow capability than any other coupling its size. |
| $13.15 |

This is the receiver side of a quick disconnect fitting. It shuts off the flow when disconected.
Use this fitting on the glider side of the pilot/glider connection when you want a fixed
attachment point. It fits an 11/16” mounting hole.
It has a 3/8” hose barb for attachment to the glider relief tube.
This provides a tight fit to 5/16” ID vinyl tubing.
The barb extends 1 1/2" behind the bulkhead.
This fitting is made of Polypropylene, so it is UV tolerant and chemically resistant, ideal for this application. The Extra Flow design features a high efficiency valve that provides a greater flow capability than any other coupling its size. |

| If you opt for a leg bag, this is the one to use. It's the largest one available and it collapses flat when empty. This kit is the most economical way to initially get everything you need. |
| $20.25 |
| You can buy replacement bags without also buying the straps and connection tube. One bag normally lasts a whole soaring season. When you discard an old bag, save the inlet fitting and exit valve. They can be useful in refining your system. Read The The Male External Catheter Relief System. |
| $9.34 |
| You can buy replacement straps or you can replace the elastic yourself and save some money. Read The The Male External Catheter Relief System for hints on modifying the straps for a more secure fit. |
| $8.04 |
| You can buy replacement connection tubes. Read The The Male External Catheter Relief System for hints on modifying the standard tube for permanent use. |
| $6.03 |
| This bag is vented at the top and the connection tube has a relief valve. These prevent the catheter from collapsing because of suction from the inlet valve of the bag. The bag and tube are not available separately. |
| $16.63 |
Save a little with these complete systems, or build your own from items listed above. See product listings above for full descriptions of component items. Items are listed in order of connection from pilot to exit point.

Catheter attaches to collection bag strapped to leg. Outlet valve attaches to glider tube through short latex tube with shutoff connector.
|
Catheter attaches to collection bag strapped to leg. Outlet valve pushes into latex tube, in glider, that transitions to vinyl for the long run to the exit point.
|
Catheter attaches to latex tube running down the leg. This attaches to vinyl glider tube through shutoff connector.
|
|
Catheter attaches to bulkhead mounted shutoff connector through 18” Hollister latex tube. Vinyl tube runs from bulkhead fitting to exit point.
|
Catheter attaches to loose shutoff connector through 18” Hollister latex tube. Vinyl tube runs from connector to exit point.
|
This tube assembly can be connected to the glider side shutoff connector for blowing out the system. This may be done in-flight if freezing is a concern.
