By passed Black Tank Flush back flow preventer

The back flow preventer failed after 5 months of use. Was going to replace it yesterday, but @ $50, I decided no. Looked for a simple plastic elbow, but couldn't find one, so made a brass one. Also used a couple of strap hangers to help secure the flush tubing. Something that should have been done at the factory, IMO.




The broken piece is on the left. $50 The two brass pieces used to replace it are on the right. $13.15




I added strap hangers to help keep the top heavy long run of plastic pipe in one place.
