For the coupler I used a 3/16 X 3" bolt with a nylon lock nut. I would hand tighten the lock nut onto the bolt.
I used a carabiner to connect the breakaway cable to a bracket under my bumper
the outlet itself was probably lower, but it required an elbow (which I have), and then the way the screw were aligned, it was only snug when the elbow was pointing straight up. So the effluent had to be high enough to get into the part of the tube pointing straight up, then into the elbow, then into the outlet. With a well aligned support/cradle, the force of the effluent might have been enough but as it was, I walked it out repeatedly (five people showering daily means lots of grey water).
