I too have a gravity pipe outlet with no valve (2009/2551), just an end cap. So I purchased Valterra-T58-Twist-On-Waste-Valve.
https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Sewer/Valterra/T58.html This item simply attaches to the end of the pipe with a bayonet fitting that allows me to attach a 3 inch flexible sewer hose equipped with a bayonet fitting when dumping. Now I have a manual valve at the end of this sewer pipe with a handle within easy reach when and if I need to bypass the Sani-Con system.
This to me was a simple and inexpensive fix for this problem. I cannot understand the logic having no valve at the end of this sewer pipe. If for any reason there was grey or black water in this pipe, removing the end cap would make for a memorable experience. I believe the newer coaches are equipped with a manual valve as seen in a PC video.
