Black Tank Flush

I have two 44 gallon black tanks on my 2021 3761FL
I can only get a flush on the rear black tank pull handle. What is the water connection for circled in red? Thanks

Might be the tank flush for the other tank. Have you tried it?

Thumbs down

I have a 2021 3761fl, the other connection is the flush for the second black tank flush. On mine the one on the left is the rear black and the one on the right for the front toilet.

Interesting. I tried it this morning and it made a weird low pitched noise so I turned it off. Thought maybe it was filling my potable water tank. I ended up closing my knife gate valve at end of line and opening both black handles. I was able to get water back into half bath black tank. I will try that other one tomorrow. I learn Sooooo much here from you guys !!!

So with 2 black tank flush lines, the normal coach input and the fresh tank fill, how does this work with only 3 input lines???

Split

The flush line could split and flush both simultaneously?

The word "Fill" you see is describing turning the black knob downward. In the picture, it is pointing at "Normal Flow" which would send city water pressure through the rig. Turn that black knob down toward the "Fill" position, and you are filling your fresh water tank using the same city water inlet.
The water inlet just below the "Fill" and to the right of the first tank flush with the hose connected is your second tank flush inlet. To confirm this, drain your second black tank then leave the valve open. Turn on flow to the inlet in question and you should see water coming out of your sewer outlet, hopefully through a clear connector, not directly on the ground.

No need to be concerned about asking that question. The labeling in the convenience centers is typically confusing, but even more so in yours.

As Bill said, the labelling is confusing on most rigs.
The only dumb question is the one not asked.

we have the exact same rig

That port you have circled is the rear tank flush, looks like they forgot to label it. It will make a strange noise when you apply water to it, I believe it is the rinse nozzle in the tank. Both of mine do that when i am flushing the tanks.

Oh. My two black tank pull levers must be reversed? When I fill from the front water connection the black water comes out of the rear black pull handle valve.

I too am getting old and senile! I knew what the fill switch did and doesn't need a separate input. DUH!

Puzzled as well

Used my 2021 Montana 3761 Fl that I bought used this weekend. I have the same question. The tank flush inlet on the left, I assumed that was for the fresh water tank? The only reason I ask is the inlet on the right says black water 2 tank flush on a sticker underneath the valve? So you're saying the flush valve in the left that says tank flush is for black water tank 1? Does the fresh water tank not have a flush? Thanks.

No. There is no flush on the fresh water tank. You can fill it by moving the valve (black lever) to fill, but not a flush inlet. Typically the left tank flush inlet us for the forward black tank and the right one for the rear, but apparently some have been installed backwards so you may have to test that.
