Black tank flush valve or vacuum breaker fr

We have a 2016 Windjammer 3008W that cane with the black tank flush port on the outside of the trailer. The couple times we tried to use it it sprayed water on the inside if the trailer under the sink. The dealer told us these go bad all the time. We have bought the replacement part to install but was wondering if there's anything special we need to know about hooking it up. Would like to make use of it instead of using the water wand we put in the toilet to flush the tank. Thanks

Just make sure you have it oriented correctly. The flat part goes on top, just as in your pic. Hose from outside port goes to the bottom connection. Side connection goes to the tank.

And remount it at least as high as the original.

That part is known to fail. Is pretty cheap plastic. I must have failed for the previous owner of my TT because they replaced it with a regular 90 degree fitting. Good thing I checked before using it. I bought an external vacuum breaker valve that I connect to the inlet port for the flusher and then connect my dedicated garden hose to that valve.
