Mascerator hose missing end piece

Can anyone tell me where I can find the black end piece for my hose that connects to the dump inlet. Picture is attached.

Thanks.
Marie

I just need the end piece. Here is what I have now. I posted about this a while back but can't find the post. I believe I gave up because I couldn't find where I could just purchase the end piece. I have a mascerater system.

Here is what I bought to replace mine (similar to Avanti's)

My 2011 RT 210P also didn't come with the end piece. And the hose was so stiff it was practically impossible to dump. I also had a Sewer Solution from another RV so cut off the original hose and I'm using the SS which has the end piece. The only thing it doesn't have is the valve but that's not a problem.

That is what we have also, although it came with a rubber insert to push into the dump pipe. We have two people when we travel, all the time, so one just holds the output above the dump a bit and the the other works the valves and the pumps. No parts to clean that way before storing.
and works for us.

If you hook up to a campsite sewer connection you are supposed to have a screw in adapter to prevent sewer gas leaks, IIRC.

Avanti, how would this attach to mine? Will it attach to the configuration I have or do I take everything off down to the hose?

organize4u · 02-05-2023, 07:29 PM

Doneworking,, same question I posed to Avanti.
Thanks

Booster, yes, that's what I do now but I'm just one person. I have to make sure I park close to the sewer so I can hold the hose and press the macerater pump button at the same time. It would be nice if there was an on off toggle switch instead of having to keep your finger on the button the whole time.

peteco posted this solution a few years back... Looks like a solution for me - if not you too!

link to the switch discussion:

And the adapter appears to screw in, but has a press fit inside. Wonder if it meets the criteria booster suggested?

Cheers - Jim

I keep a certain length stick in the long drawer that pushes the button perfectly from a distance. Cheap.
A telescoping hiking stick in the driver side door pocket may also work.

It is designed to slip directly onto a 1" hose. Sometimes you need a hose clamp. I have found no need for a shutoff valve. The little cap does fine, and if you hold it up in the air, nothing will come out. But, if you want one, anything you need can be found at Home Depot.

As for the pushbutton: I would immediately replace it with a toggle switch.

Pantomjock's picture of a solution to holding down the push button switch for the macerator works great. I took an old household key and used it for a tab to swivel over the button to activate the switch. It has worked great for ten years or so. All keys seem to have a hole in them and most any old key lying around will work as a quick mod.

Organize4u, on the collar I used I simply unscrewed the metal part of the gadget and used the appropriate 1 inch pvc connection to attach to my valve, which is just like yours. I like having the shut off valve at the end of the hose but it is really not totally necessary.

I think what you're looking for is the "donut". Try this:

The original donut that came with our Roadtrek when it was new had a standard four inches on the side that went into the sewer but the top accommodated a standard one inch pvc connection. I believe the one in Boondocker's reference is three inches for standard (not macerator) rv dump hose.

I lost my original 1inch to 4 inch and have never found an exact replacement. Our RT is a 2007. So, I now use the connection I posted earlier in a reply in this thread.
