I personally advocate removal of POS....replace with PVC threaded elbow/pipe and use a hose end vacuum breaker at connection.
When you state "at connection" I take it you mean at the hose bib at the campground that I attach my flushing hose to. (that goes to tank washer connection on trailer?)
This type connector/valve has been required on almost ALL residential outside water spigots for over 30 years. It is designed to STOP backflow(siphon ) of a house water system to the City Water system if there is an outage. Some(Monaco was one) had this on the outside water spigot in their water bay faucets.
