It also helps in winterizing the head (you just pour AF into the sink)

I like the idea of adding a tee in the sink drain for a fresh water flush - 
thanks!

I have seen heads discharge loops vented with a small hose led to an external

more common for anti-siphon at the raw water to exhaust mixing below.

I thought about added a hose to my head discharge loop if it became a problem.  
 The longer the little rubber valve work, the more likely I’ll replace it as 
Dennis has done.

The only head odor problem I have had was due to stagnate seawater in the inlet 
to head.   I fixed this by teeing the head inlet to the head sink drain.  When 
I leave the boat for an extended period, I now close off the seacock, fill the 
sink with some fresh water, and pump it through the head.  No more stench.

The anti-siphon valve on the vented loop is usually not routed anywhere. It 
just sits on the top of the loop.

It?s different from the tank vent.
