Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at E trailer. And today we'll be taking a look at our Valterra waste valve for your RV black water tank here at E trailer. So this is a three inch gate valve designed for your black water tank. So you can see here how you already have it installed. And this is going to be especially useful.
If let's say you have leaky valves and you need a really quick fix. If you're unable to already fix your valves, or if you just want an extra kind of stop that way, if anything does happen, you're not leaking on the road. So we have this here on a Coleman trailer right now, and you can see with this design, that's more of a safety feature than anything because we have our black water valve here, our gray water valve here, and there's not much pipe before we get to our final valve. So in our case, if anything does happen, this is a great way to make sure that we have a extra kind of stop points before it starts leaking on the road. Great.
When you're driving around and you want to make sure that everything still looks good. So right here is a great reason to get this gate valve. So notice how our black water valve is right over here and how much pipe there is before you get to this output valve. So in our case, and it has happened, the black water valve was leaky. So you do have about two gallons of waste waiting right over here before you attach your hose.
So in that case, this would be very, very useful. So this here is our valve. You'll notice how it has a three inch diameter passage through it, which is going to fit most of your RVs because most of them have that design when it comes to their black water valve. So on one side you have bayonet hooks and that fits right onto your pre-existing valve. And the other side has these fittings, which is where you're going to put your sewer hose.
So right now it's in the closed position and you'll immediately be able to tell, because the handle is all the way down. Now, if you want to open it, or when you already have your sewer hose attached, you just pull up on that lever and you can see how our valve opens. Now, one thing that may happen and I've seen it happen before, is that when they closed this valve on their other valves, they got some toilet paper stuck in there. So that's where this lever comes really in handy, because then you can see if it's fully closed and functioning. The dimensions of this valve is going to be in the closed position, nine and a half inches from top to bottom. And then when you have it open or the levers all the way up, it's going to be 12 and three quarter inches. And with those dimensions is nice that you are able to rotate it if needed, just to get the best fit on your RV. Let's say you have limited clearance up here. You just moved this valve to this size, and that's how you activate it. Where this really shines is that it's a very quick fix. And if it's a quick fix, it needs to be fast and easy. So let's take a look at that install process. We have our waste valve over here, and then we also have our original valve right over here. So we're going to do is first take off the cap. And I like to take off this rubber portion first that way we're free to take this cap off, to just twist that and that's off. So hopefully your gray pink and your black tank valves are already closed and there isn't any residue on the inside, but if they are leaky, there may be some things in there when you take that cap off. So you may want to have a bucket underneath as you do this, but once you get that cap off, you're then going to get your valve and notice how we have this side with the bayonet. That's going to fit right on to your pipe, and then just twist that and lock it into place. And with this portion lock, you can then rotate your valve itself. If you need it to be in a better position, we're going to have it right over there. And once that's in place, you're going to also put this cap right back on. And don't forget to put that rubber attachment back onto that cap. As you can see, this was a very, very quick install process. Now, if you do have leaky valves, it may be a little bit more difficult to just make sure that you have your gloves and you're trying to be as sanitary as possible because as you install that valve pool water may come out. So you want to make sure that you are protected, but once that's on there, then you're good to go. So my personal thoughts about this gate valve is I really like how it's super quick and easy to install it, because if I do have a leaky valve, a little bit of effort to go in there to fix it to a place it this way I can just add that on real quick and fix it later, now if you do have leaky valves, I please try and fix them anyways, We have most of your replacement parts right here at E trailer that will work for you. But if you want something that's a quick and easy fix, this is the way to go. And if you just want an extra safety measure while you're on the road, I highly recommend picking this up anyways. And that was a look here at our Valterra waste valve for your RV black water tank here at E trailer. My name is Evangeline, and I hope you enjoyed the journey..

Twist-on valve is designed to be a quick fix for your RV's black-water waste valve issues. 3" Diameter passage allows wastewater to travel freely when valve is open. Bayonet hooks twist onto existing valve. Lug fitting end connects to hose.Excellent product. Had to wait awhile but well worth the wait. Been having trouble with black tank valve leaking by. Called and it would be July until our dealer could check it out. This will be a permanent fixture on my Fifth Wheel. Thanks etrailer for getting it to me.
One of the dreaded tasks of RVing is emptying the tanks... particularly the black tank. Before I bought this item, I would hold my sewer hose under the drain outlet, and pull the cap off. Inevitably, sewage would come out before I could connect the hose. After installing the Valterra Waste Valve, I no longer have to worry about that. I simply remove the cap, connect the hose, and pull the valve handle. No worries, no mess. After one year, the product still works without fail. I highly recommend this item!
I installed this on the main outlet on my RV where I connect the drain hose.I first drain the black tank. when it is empty, i leave the tank valve open and close this valve at the hose. I then open the grey water valve and let it flow over into the black water tank until they balance. I then close grey water valve and open the valve at the hose.This is a great way to flush the black tank.And then drain the grey water to flush out the hose.
Even though I have installed this valve I have not tried it. However, I ordered and installed the same product in Nov. 2019. It worked well but in September 2020 somewhere between Custer and Rapid City, SD it came off. It had always been a little loose, so this time I will be watching it much closer and installing something around it if it starts to loosen up.
Perfect for what I needed. Stock waste valve on my fifth wheel allows seepage from gray and black tanks so there is residue when the cap is removed. With this waste valve added, there is no seepage and absolutely no residue when the cap is removed.
Works perfectly. Allows the removal of the waste water end cap to install the waste water hose with no waste water escaping due to leaking in one of the waste valves in the upstream piping.
I added this secondary valve to contain any waste residue accumulation behind the waste cap. Even with all three (bath, galley, black) valves closed, some water would always accumulate behind the cap and when the cap was removed a few cups or so of waste would fall out. Solved the problem. Great.
I installed the Valterra waste valve on my 2020 Coachmen Brookstone 398mbl and this is the best upgrade I have done to my RV. Easy to install, great price, and just an awesome product all the way around. Definitely recommend this product.
So glad these are back in stock. Everything I've ordered from ETrailer has arrived in good shape and if X is in stock, it arrives very promptly. This little puppy was out of stock everywhere during covid. Thanks supply chain. Grab this AND a spare to CYA. My hero at Changing Lanes said hv a spare, not for malfunction reasons but in case one walks away at a shady campground I suppose. So I spent the $ to have 2. Two is 1, one is none in the ol prepper world.
Product works well! An opportunity for improvement would be to make the fitting "stiffer" to avoid the pull gate to stay horizontal to the ground. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the product.
This is a great add-on because you don't get that little bit of leakage when you pull your sewer cap off. It's also an added level of security knowing I have a backup plan if I have issues with the main valves.
Valve continues to work as designed. Twisting the sewer hose on and off is a two person job as the valve tends to rotate with hose fitting as you attempt to twist it on of off. One person attaches or detaches the hose with both hands while the other person holds the valve itself steady. Otherwise, very happy to have the backup, though we've been fortunate that neither of our tank valves have stuck (yet).
comes just as pictured and is a simple attachment that can be added to the waste line to make sure there are no surprises.
Bad Quilty. The locking tabs broke after only a few months of use putting me back to scare one with a broken sewer connection.
Love this. No more surprises when emptying the grey and black tanks. Takes a second to put it on.
Easy, cost effective solution to leaky sewer valves. No more 'surprises' when removing valve cap.
Makes dumping your tanks much easier. Harder to spill or leak.
This device is a must have for any RV owner. Ensure you don’t have an accidental spill with this waste valve on the end of your plumbing.
Very easy to install. Prevents that little bit from spilling when I take the cap off.
Up until winter this year, the valve was great. Then we had a deep freeze & and the valve froze up. Took a bit to warm it up to operate it again. The advantage of this valve, is that you can remove it to clean, lubricate to preform.
We’ve had this valve for a year or so. It’s on our second camper. Fit both perfectly and adds a sense of security when draining waste
My husband says he is very happy with the Valterra waste valve. He said it functions as promised.
This valve is a must on a Grand Design with a remote, cable operated valve because when you arrive and remove your cap, you would get a smelly surprise!
The Valterra T58 should help with the spillage of the after black/gray dump!
Product works as designed. A little added security when dumping the pooo!
