    Macerator set up

    ok so my new boats macerator pump is not hooked up. The pump is located near the line that goes up to the pump out fitting. My question is can it put a "tee" in that line to feed the macerator, or do in need a valve in there? It has a keyed switch in the power to comply with CG regs!
