Vacuum Breaker / Anti-Siphon / Check Valve Delete

Whatever you want to call it, I call it not needed and gone from my rig. A PVC 1/2" street 90 and a 2 1/2" nipple installed and tested. No chance of flooding!

I've one that's going to be recycled as well. If there's that much of an up and down loop to the flush, why would it need a check valve anyway?

Removed ours as well. In fact, I removed the pex line that went up to the bath room vanity. Use a screw in anti-siphon valve on the hose connection when we flush the black tank.

Howdy All;

I also removed mine and replaced it with a Sharkbite 90*.
Mine enters about 5.5' above the ground and that get's the
water inlet about 2' maybe 2.5' above the tank. I also use a
screw-on vacuum breaker at the water source so it won't
hic-cup back into the Park's water supply.

Time to turn the A/C on it's 84* (29*C), at the moment
10:20 pm local time.
