Hi All...
If a toilet discharge is piped directly to a holding tank, is a vented loop necessary? If not, what keeps the tank from spilling or otherwise backing into the toilet, or even into the discharge tube?
Currently I have the toilet discharge going to a diverter valve, then to either the seacock or the tank. The seacock is never used, and the diverter valve is never changed, always leading to the tank. I could take it out, but the hose from the valve to the tank is in place, so I don't want to fool with it.
When I replace the toilet, I plan to just run the discharge to the existing valve. I am trying to figure out of I need a vented loop.
Thanks...
