How to Install the Valterra Waste Valve Extension Rod Kit T1046-12VP
Question:
I would like to extend my waste rod handle so it isnt so far under the camper. Do I need to remove the existing rod from the waste valve and use only the extension rod, or can I remove my existing handle and screw the extension rod onto the existing waste rod?

You do not have to remove the valve shaft on your waste gate valve to install the extension # T1046-12VP. The instructions for this part are as follows:
Unscrew the handle while holding valve shaft with cloth between a pair of pliers and the shaft.
Attach the extension tubes by simply threading them onto the valve shaft.
To adjust up to 2 inches longer, loosen locknut and unscrew stud counter clockwise until desired length is reached. Then retighten locknut.
