FootLoose for Campground & Dump Station Owners
FootLoose foot-operated sewer caps for campground and dump-station operators — self-closing, odor-free, padlock-compatible, in 5 colors for hookup-zone ID. USA-made by Enviro Design Products. Volume pricing, purchase orders, and tax-exempt purchasing welcome. Call (866) 514-3684.
Guests never
touch the cap
Step on the pedal and the FootLoose opens; lift the hose away and it snaps shut. An empty site is never an open sewer — no odor, no insects, nothing for your next health inspection to flag — and compliance never depends on a guest remembering to close anything.

Inspection-ready by default+
An open riser releases sewer gas and attracts insects — a standard flag on health and sanitation inspections. Self-closing means the riser is capped every minute a hose isn't connected.
Retrofit in an afternoon+
The female FootLoose taps onto a bare 4" SCH 40 riser with a rubber mallet; the male version threads onto a standard PVC collar. No glue, no rivets, no excavation — a mallet and an afternoon re-caps a whole loop.
Built for guest traffic+
Ultra-high chemical and temperature resistance with UV-stable material — made for years of daily use in full sun, freeze-thaw, and the occasional dropped hose fitting.
Lock out unauthorized dumping+
Every cap accepts a standard padlock or zip-tie — close the dump station after hours, secure vacant sites, or take a section out of service.

How an RV Dump Station Works
A dump station is a 4" sewer riser connected to a sanitary sewer or septic system, set in a concrete pad with rinse water nearby. The RV’s 3" sewer hose connects to the riser, the black tank drains first, then the grey tank rinses the hose through. Between users, the riser must be capped — a self-closing FootLoose cap reseals the connection automatically the moment a hose is disconnected.
Building or Upgrading a Dump Station
The standard spec is 4" SCH 40 PVC pipe from the riser to the sewer or septic connection, graded for drainage, with a rinse-water source clearly separated from potable supply. Local health departments regulate dump-station construction, so confirm permit requirements before you dig. For the complete operator checklist, see our guide: Complete Dump Station Equipment List for RV Park Owners.

Frequently asked questions
How does an RV dump station work?
A dump station is a capped 4" sewer riser over a sanitary sewer or septic connection, set in a sloped concrete pad with non-potable rinse water nearby. The RV’s sewer hose connects to the riser, black water is dumped first, then grey water flushes the hose. Between users the riser should be capped — a self-closing cap like the FootLoose reseals it automatically.
What size pipe is used for an RV dump station?
4" SCH 40 PVC is the standard riser size — it matches every RV sewer hose adapter and every FootLoose cap. The female FootLoose taps directly onto a bare 4" riser with a rubber mallet; the male version threads onto a standard 4" PVC collar.
How do I build an RV dump station?
The core elements: a permitted connection to sewer or septic, a 4" SCH 40 PVC riser centered in a sloped concrete pad, a rinse-water hydrant kept separate from drinking water, signage, and a self-closing cap so the riser is never left open. Local health departments regulate construction and permits, so start there. Our operator equipment checklist covers the full build list.
Can I dump my RV black tank into my home sewer cleanout?
Many municipalities allow it — the cleanout is typically a 4" fitting that accepts a standard RV sewer hose adapter — but rules vary, especially on septic systems, so check your local code first. If you dump at home regularly, a tapped-on FootLoose cap keeps the cleanout sealed and odor-free between uses.
Should a dump station be capped between users?
Yes. An open riser releases odor and sewer gases, attracts insects, and is a common flag on health and sanitation inspections. A self-closing cap removes the human factor — the connection reseals itself every time a hose comes off, so compliance doesn’t depend on guests remembering to close anything.
Do you offer volume pricing for parks and campgrounds?
Yes. Volume pricing starts at 10+ units with deeper discounts at 50, 100, and 250+ — enough to cover a loop, a section, or a full park build-out, mixing colors and male/female versions in one order. Call (866) 514-3684 for a same-day quote.
Can parks and government agencies buy with a purchase order or tax-exempt?
Yes. We accept purchase orders from parks, campgrounds, municipalities, and government agencies, and tax-exempt purchasing is welcome. Call (866) 514-3684 or email sales@envirodesignproducts.com to set up your account.
