THOR #19679
San-T-Flush

I'm wondering if there is a shutoff valve to the san-t-flush system on a 2018 Thor ACE 30.3.
When i hook up a hose, water on to flush the Black tank with the drain valve open nothing drains out.

Has it ever worked? Usually no valve installed BUT there have been cases where the hose from the outside connection to the sani-flush was not connected and cases where the check valve at the outside connection was installed backwards.

There is a a one way check valve or vacuum breaker that when it malfunctions does not allow water through in either direction. Mine was under the bathroom sink. Changed it and the system was back to normal

Here is what was bad on my system a few years ago.

Thor has also been known to mislabel the valves. You're sure you're opening the black tank? If so check the vacuum breaker, either installed backwards or has malfunctioned.

Several rigs ago I had a brand new rig that the backflo preventer was installed backwards. Won't work that way. Easy fix though. Good luck
