If you want I suppose one can always hook up your air hose or pump RV antifreeze into your black water flush. Though I a cup or two of antifreeze flushed down into your black water tank I believe is all you need.  ]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2018 17:30:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12321&PID=116704#116704 Black tank flush out hook up : Shane, I don't think so.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12321&PID=116702#116702 Author: mcarter

Shane, I don't think so. I do agree with Furpod it is a gravity drain, and no water should rest in it. It is inside the Pod, mine is in the shower wall below the sink.]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2018 16:28:57 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12321&PID=116702#116702 Black tank flush out hook up : Yes mine is factory installed... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12321&PID=116687#116687 Author: Shane

Yes mine is factory installed and yes it is in working order, use it every time when I dump black tank. If there is a possibility of it freezing is it possible to push in the valve manually and try to send some anti-freeze through that line?]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2018 10:55:54 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12321&PID=116687#116687 Black tank flush out hook up : Couple of comments.

Couple of comments.

Mine was also installed wrong so I relocated it to the drivers side near the blacktank. It has a one way valve in the line, that in fact did freeze last year, I'm sure because it does not gravity drain well. The reasons I chose to relocate - the factory installed valve is behind the bathroom sink, too much hassle to get to, and I never liked the flush on the curbside.

I do use compressed air and I blow out the flush line.

Just as a parenthesis - I assume that you have shown that it is working??

The reason I ask is that ours was installed at the factory incorrectly and never worked. 

It should be a straight through hook up with a valve to prevent backflow.

It's a straight gravity feed to the tank.So far as I can recall, no one has ever had a issue with it freezing.

I have already did my winterization on my pod, except for the black tank flush hook up, I tried to flow antifreeze through it but it would not flow through. How do I make sure there is no water in this line. Everything else is all good.]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2018 11:14:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12321&PID=116635#116635
