When flushing the black tank you normally have no way to know what the level in the tank is after you close the drain valve and continue flushing. Some use a battery powered flow meter to measure how much is going in but that's just another gadget to keep up with IMHO.
As my black tank is right there in the wet bay I decided to add a standpipe gauge. I ordered some clear 1/2" actual outside diameter PVC pipe from Amazon:

Got 2 male adapters in 1/2" CPVC:
4' of 1/2" CPVC (only needed 2 inches) and four 1/2" CPVC street elbows.
I got a 1/2" NPT tap and drill set to drill and tap the holes in the tank. I used All Purpose Pipe Cement on the 1/2" adapters and screwed them into the tank.
On the elbows that the clear PVC went in to I glued in a short piece of CPVC pipe, cut it off, and drilled a 1/2" hole for the clear tube. Assembled and glued it in and tested it and it works perfectly - no leaks:
