Black tank check value is leaking
I've only had the TT a few months and noticed the check valve on my black tank wash leaks. I am thinking about by passing this with a 90° elbow.or some type of fitting. Anyone done this? Or anyone have suggestions.

- Mine will leak a bit when the black tank is full. I just figured it was normal.

no more chance of leak. Much higher quality valve.

Hopefully the links worked. hmmmm not!
Fixed.
Did you combine those two together and install in place of the orginal?- Replaced mine with this:

Check Valve
Hopefully the links worked. hmmmm not! - Has anyone ever had one of these plug up?
- Duuuh, I know this old pfart that used to not winterize the black tank flush system.
I now the cost will surprise you and the thing was under the bathroom sink on my fifth wheel.
Putting the new on in was not that bad, even for a fast man that is older than dirt. :W - Mine does the same, when I turn the water pressure up it shoots a stream of water out from the valve. The last time I did this I held the valve with a towel to catch the water. I feel I shouldn't have to do that. Plus if I'm holding the leak I cannot see what's going on outside where the water is exiting the outlet.
I was told a replacement is around $55.
I may just buy a wand and be done with the rest. - Ours drips slightly if the water pressure is really high. I just put a rag or towel under it to catch what drips. It is located inside our bathroom sink cabinet. Easy to get to.
- A lot of us have eliminated the black tank flush anti-siphon valve. But most of us also use an external check valve just in case of the slim possibility of a back flow.
