Does it have to be inside? Otherwise consider a pan under it and let it drip during infrequant use.

I ruined one by leaving a garden hose hooked to the flush inlet on a very hot day. The end of the hose was plugged by a closed spigot and the pressure ruined the check valve. Water then backed up into the valve when flushing the tank and it leaked. The tank flush quit working too until I replaced its backflow preventer. I went with a brass one instead of plastic. Works great again with no leaks.

Leaky back flow preventers is a common problem. Universal replacement kits are available online for $20 to $30. Leaving a hose connected to the black tank flush can cause these to valves to stop working and leak.
Please explain what you mean by that statement.
I'm not understanding the situation or concern.
Thanks

is this a add on device for a after market flush kit OR does any factory installed black flush have this valve. I have a Jayco and haven,t seen this unless it is in the enclosed under belly.

Thats what it is. A vacuum breaker to the black water tank flusher.

Yes it's a vacuum breaker. And yes it's installed upside down. This has already been pointed out by others but of course many don't read before posting. Just change the orientation so the top (with the screw) is up and you're good to go.
