The reason you want a valve ahead of the macerator is as insurance for
that nearly inevitable day when the macerator fails. If you've got
contents in the black tank when that day arrives, a closed gate valve will
be a LOT more fun to work with than will having to remove the macerator
with all that stinky stuff backed up by it.
SO, if you want to be spared that agony, keep that valve exercised!
