Replace the standard waste valve on your RV's black-water tank with this electric one so that you can open and close the valve with the flip of a switch. Light comes on when valve is open. Wiring harness and 2 switch plates included.
Features:
Specs:
The switch plate, wiring, seals, and hardware needed to install this electric waste valve on your RV's black water tank are included. The switch plate installs in the RV's control panel. The waste valve secures to existing pipes using ABS solvent cement (A05-0303 - sold separately). A booklet with step-by-step instructions and a template for drilling are also included.
You can also adapt the valve to work with your gray-water tank. A gray switch plate is included for that purpose. For this installation, you will need to use adapters (sold separately) to convert the valve opening from 3" to 1-1/2" in diameter.
If you're dry camping or in the case of a power failure, the manual override is easy to use. Simply remove the pin from the valve's lift arm and turn the handle 90 degrees clockwise. Then pull the handle to open the valve.

This replaced a mechanical one I had for the black water. It was a relatively easy install, the install of the valve was straightforward and the wiring for the switch was easy with the worse being choosing a location and drilling the switch mounting area. Works great and hasn’t had any problems
VERY good service and VERY quick delivery. They have a good system for taking orders, processing them and keeping the customer informed along the way.
This is a very nice easy hookup, 2 wire install. This valve is being used on a 1010 gallon tanker trailer for an agricultural application. The valve comes prewired with heavy duty wiring and very sturdy crimped on connectors. The lighted activation switch is mounted into a faceplate with a 5 amp DC circuit breaker. Most attractive about this valve is the very reasonable price. This is a lot of valving for the price.
These valves are fantastic, after a year of use they function flawlessly, and I don’t have to get on my knees anymore to pull those stupid valve handles.
Valve works as promised. Would have been helpful to have instructions and panel mounting screws but I have [on-line videos] and a can of spare hardware. I wonder if the manufacturer knew where I was mounting everything as the power connection plug was JUST the right length.
Everything they describe, and we tested and is working perfect
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
The Drain Master cam-lock waste water hose is second to none, but after having to use a small allen wrench to manually open/close a failed Drain Master black tank valve, I replaced both with this Valterra assembly. They require a fair amount of space above them to open, but it is much easier to manually operate them, if necessary. They are well-constructed. No leaks, no problems after a year of use, and etrailer offered quick delivery and excellent customer service. Keep in mind-- the switches are a rocker design that makes open/close positions less obvious, and in bright sun, the red led may be hard to see. I learned this while flushing out my black tank. After I was finished, I reinserted the stopper, thinking the black tank valve was closed. The next time I went to drain the tanks, I took the stopper out, and had a 40 gallon gusher of raw sewage! One thing I can say about all my RV mistakes- I never repeat them!

I would recommend this product to anyone who has long remote pull drains. It made both the black and gray water work without a hitch. Just smooth full open to full closed. Well worth the money. Install them myself with the help of my son. They bolted right up no problem.

So far a very good valve. I just removed the old cable valve and this slipped right into it's place. There was one little surprise, the instructions did not indicate which 12v wire was positive. There is a black and white wire. I assumed black was positive, it's not. So of course the valve opened when I connected the wires.

This is such a great product,I don't know why it is not an option more often on a rv.I installed the control switch inside my rv near a window that looks out on the sewer connection.I have the clear 3" elbows on both hose ends of my sewer hose,and can observe from inside, the operation of emptying my black tank.Being able to do so during rainy or cold weather is such a great luxury.I have had this in operation for about a year now and it has performed flawlessly.I chose this brand over others due to the ability to manually operate valve in event of a power loss.Installation was very simple and instructions were very detailed.Will never have a rv without one now.

Except for having to make some minor modifications to my flanges (they were bowed out between the bolt holes) so the actuators were clearing the flange, the install was easy. The flange issue is not the valve manufacturers fault, just how the flange was made. My old valves were cable style and cheap and these will be a great upgrade on Leaky crappy valves. I was tired of getting the sewer surprise every time I dumped. etrailer delivered on time and at a good value.

Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
A very useful valve, hope it works better than the last one! The last one of these had the plastic break where it opens the valve. This new one seems to be different, hope it's stronger! Just wish it wasn't the black tank! etrailer was especially helpful with a UPS problem but got a new one out to us right away. Very nice people to deal with!
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
it is so nice to not have to go outside in the winter months and have to crawl under my toy hauler to empty my blackwater tank. Got an electrician who installed the switch right in the bathroom for easy access. No problems at all! Now to get one for each tank for individual control!

1 year review. Purchased the Valterra electric waste dump valves (3 ea.) and after 1 year the motor on one unit has failed. I did reorder a replacement unit as I still prefer these over traditional cable pull valves.
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
Instalation of the valve was easy on my 1999 Alpen lite St. Andrews. Removeable of the underbelly is simple Alpen lite provides two panels to be removed for easy access to manuel valves. The electrical assembly was straight forward having to add 10 inches of wire to reach my battery compartment. For us folks who are replacing our manual valves with electric it would be nice to have a water proof gang box to fit switch assembly. There are no gang boxes available that fit the switch panel without extensive modification to the gang box. Completed installation in 5 hours. The second valve will take about 2. lol Thanks etrailer for great parts at a great price.
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
I am more than satisfied with this product. We purchased a brand New Renegade Vienna MH, on a Mercedes Chassis. It is a very nice Motor Home, but the very tight spaces underneath the rear caused the (cable pull) Valves very hard to pull and would not close all the way. To our disappointment the manufacturer could not make them work to my satisfaction. A independent repair facility near us suggested the Valterra Electric valves. The manual valves that were on the MH already were Valterra, so the switch was extremely easy. BEST DECISION I've made in years. I 100% suggest this product
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
Nice valve, well built. Everything needed for the install is included. Valve opens and closes quickly. This valve replaced a leaking cable valve that was in a tight position requiring an excessive angle on the cable. Problem solved with this electric valve. I installed a 5" access port in the belly pan in case of failure. Will allow me to empty my tank without having to drop the belly pan. My only complaint is that the switch plate will not fit a single or double gang electrical box. Had to make my own since there was no room to mount the switch plate on my panel.

Fits properly, performs excellent. It would awesome if they would make a way to have 2 switches, one inside and one outside.
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
Shipped on-time as told through the confirmation email. Arrived perfect and intact-undamaged. All Parts were included. I had it installed with-in One hour of it arriving. Tested for leaks, none and were good to go! So excited about having a remote switch to cycle our black tank now. I know it might now seem like a big deal, but it is when you live full-time in an RV. I have ordered from etrailer before and knew they were my go to source for Parts Online. Always great service people to talk to on the phone. Great Job Guys and Gals!
Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves
I had to replace and old valve that had jammed on me. The original valve was installed about 4 years earlier. When they work they are great. when they don't, the sewers back up. I had to manually open up the old valve in order to flush the tank before replacement.

Just recently learned about etrailer. Now that I have received my order, the excellent order status notification and followup by etrailer I have book marked the company for future reference. Easy to do business with and excellent customer service. I will be doing business with them again when I have a need for rv products in the future.
