Got another Beans Pipe Question

[nanafish]

When looking over the view on the pipes, on the one cap that is sitiuated on the sanitary tee, what purpose is the john guest fitting w/tubing? Does this break the sipohon in case of power outage?

no ,,that hose gets mounted onto your overflows back wall about 1 inch above the normal running water line , and if something clogs up the one without the tube coming from top of it , the water level in your box will rise and when it hits that hose that is mounted in your box , it will activate that pipe and start the flow through it , real fail safe set up ..love mine

+1 soon as the water hits that line the box flushes it becomes a closed circuit.

As stated above... it's another fail safe. If the water for whatever reason would begin to rise faster than your siphon, open channel, and emergency lines could handle (if they became clogged or something). Once the airline tubing becomes submerged it converts the open channel line to a siphon channel as well.
