Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Hub

Is outstanding product make certain to order lots of wire however depending on where you want to run your switch. I wanted mine in my cabin next to my refrigerator.1170561

The Valterra valves work great unless they get wet on the outside and then the electronics corrode and stop working. This happened twice in the past to me personally. If they sealed the motor they would be awesome, but I still love the convenience of the remote switch.1174881

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 problems749041

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. 541457

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.691318

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.521912

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.875142

Everything they describe, and we tested and is working perfect357770

Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves

Nice valve for remote operation . The wiring is 4 ft from switch to motor/valve, and 3 ft of wire for power. I replaced power wire with a 10 ft piece which was only $9 bucks. Take pic of switch wiring cause you need to remove wires from switch to pass wires through any holes you drill in floor and cabinets, etc . Watch out for water , electric wires when drilling holes. Hole needs to be at least 1/2”for wire ends to pass through. If wood is thick I would do 5/8” hole . Pass big wire ends through first and smaller next. Or cut wire ends off and recrimip new ends after running wires.1282902

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.1058573

After a year of usage the valve is working very well. I really like being able to flip the switch to drain the tank.

I bought this item hoping it would fix the issues I had with the factory installed cable, NOPE. This part is no better than the cable system. The clip that hold the valve handle to the electric motor doesn’t clip on correctly, I even tried making it work with zip ties, it worked for maybe two weeks, now I just crawl under the RV and operate it manually. Don’t waste your money.1284209

You mentioned that the clip is not holding to the valve handle correctly. I wanted to see if you could send a picture?

Hi thanks for reaching out, unfortunately the valve is in a very hard spot to get a decent photo. I am out of town the rest of the week, I could try to take a photo this weekend if needed.

I reached out to the manufacturer who advised that often the handle is not in the correct position and if it is not it will cause problems wit the use of the valve.

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.412130

Only reason it's not five stars is the shipping, they wouldn't let me ship it to a PO box because of the wait but UPS took it to the post office??, Otherwise love etrailer they are alot of help and these valves which I didn't need the Y but it was cheaper than buying 2 single valves.1282403

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!683771

A year later, we are still full-time in the RV. I am using the Valterra valves every couple days and they continue to operate faultlessly.

Review from a similar EZ Valve in RV Waste Valves

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.619404

Still working flawlessly.Been recommending this item to all who inquire about it on my rv.

This was the 3rd valve I put on it. This one was working when I traded the RV in on a newer keystone Avalanche. Has manual waste tank pulls which I will keep.1099506

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.763808

Still working great. Should of made this change long ago.

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 product695720
