Vented loops. Am I mad?

Am I right in thinking that the little rubber valve is inserted with the duck bill bit pointing into the pipe? Seems to me that is the right way. Air can go in, water can't get out.

Having a senior moment and just want to check.

Sara, don't you think you have done quite enough dismantling of boat-bogs to last a lifetime....?

my only regret is that it never became an Olympic event.

Interesting.

I never realised that you could buy rubbers - I had one on the discharge which weeped so cleaned it and swapped it with the inlet one. Doesn't weep on the inlet, but I'm not convinced that it lets in air either.

Yes, the bill goes down, and the round bit at the other end fits into the plastic 'nut'

Oh yes, my barber used to try and sell them to me.

I'll get my coat.
