It also helps in winterizing the head (you just pour AF into the sink) Marek C270 Ottawa, ON Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

Some were with inline check valves but some without. The later was more common for anti-siphon at the raw water to exhaust mixing below. I thought about added a hose to my head discharge loop if it became a problem. The longer the little rubber valve work, the more likely I’ll replace it as Dennis has done. The only head odor problem I have had was due to stagnate seawater in the inlet to head. I fixed this by teeing the head inlet to the head sink drain. When I leave the boat for an extended period, I now close off the seacock, fill the sink with some fresh water, and pump it through the head.

It just sits on the top of the loop. It?s different from the tank vent. Dennis C. _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
