thanks Dennis. This definitely helps. I realized while I was under the coach today and looking at yours and other pictures that I had the parts in my hand yesterday at Camping World but didn't put 2 and 2 together.

Jared,

Here is what I did.

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/macerator-for-73-23-ft-coach/p38775-0118.html

The emergency drain is via a Valterra 3 inch valve, the discharge side has a 3 inch bayonet flange and the cap is a bayonet cap with hose connection. If you ever need to use just stop by local rv shop or Walmart and pick up a hose and bayonet fitting.

If you have a Thetford 3 inch drain line the bayonet fitting does not work on a Valterra valve.


Hope this helps.

Dennis

I am using 3" pipe from Lowes with all the required bends etc but can't find the right gate or end pieces for the rest of the setup. I'm a bit hesitant to order something online without knowing if it will fit the 3" pipe or not.
