The Recreational Vehicle (RV) Black Water Holding Tank By-Pass Piping Apparatus invention is a RV black water holding tank by-pass plumbing system that enables continuous use of the toilets within said RV while docked that is residential plumbing code compliant. Our invention consists of additional “Drain” piping , fittings and gate valves to divert the toilets discharge waste product when flushed around the RV's existing Black Water Holding/Storage Tank directly to the RV's Main Sewer Connection while at the same time maintaining the ability to flush the entire sewer discharge piping/lines with available waste from the RV's gray water storage/holding tanks as highly recommended by all RV manufacturers. This by-pass capability eliminates the need to “Routinely Dump” the normally accumulated black wastewater collected in the black water tank, a procedure that can be required typically every 3 to 5 days and one that can also, by the nature of the waste product being handled, cause severe illness if not performed with caution. Our invention does not require any replacement or reworking of any Original Equipment (RV) Manufacturer's (OEM) provided appliances or apparatus. All required components are external to these devices. Our invention can either be installed as part of the original build at the RV manufacturers manufacturing facility or as an add on or “After Market” addition at any Dealers or RV Equipment Suppliers facility/shop. While our inventions description describes a primarily manually operated system it can optionally include a partially automated wired or wireless automation control system. This invention minimizes the environmental impact of the use of black wastewater holding tank additives/chemicals by avoiding use of the black wastewater holding tank entirely thereby enabling the conservation of chemical additives commonly used by preventing the need to add them.
