Hey guys, Kevin at etrailer and today I'm gonna be showing you how to install the Valterra Bladex single valve with hub to hub fittings here on our 2011 Coachman Freelander Class C motor home. This single waste valve is really easy to use. All you have to do is simply pull your handle out. Once that's out, it releases the blade into this section of it and allows water to pass through our pipes down to our other valve. And then when we're done with that, we can go ahead and simply push it in. Now if you do have issues trying to get down to this, you can also switch over to our cable-actuated ones.
It's gonna basically have a cable that runs from the waste valve up to wherever you wanna mount it and then you can easily pull it without having to really bend over or get under your motor home. As far as installation goes, this can be a little bit challenging if you have to actually cut off any of your other fittings or your pipes, if maybe you have a straight pipe coming through here and you have to install that in there and you're gonna need to make sure that you also grab the correct ABS cement. That way you properly have it sealed up with those pipes. If not, if you don't have to do all that, if you're just replacing one that you already have, go ahead and just take those bolts out and replace just the valve itself. It'll make your life a whole lot easier.
We can start by removing the bolts on our old one now. Now we have all the bolts out, we can go ahead and remove our valve. Pop out any of the gaskets. The old gaskets are trashed. So the easiest way to really do this is just to remove the four bolts that hold these flanges and then go ahead and just swap out the waste valve itself.
All right, as we get that last bolt out, you can see that the flange will pop right off of our waste valve. Like I said, you can easily get these and replace 'em. There's quite a few people that'll break the handles off. Maybe they have something in the road pop up and hit it and break it off. And it's just a lot easier to swap this out instead of replacing the entire system.
So if we take a look of inside here, there's gonna be these little gaskets. You can pop those off. We're gonna wanna use the newer ones. I'm sure the old ones on there are probably ready to be retired. Go ahead, we'll stick on new gaskets and we can slip in our valve and insert our new bolts. Now that they're all hand tight, come back and just tighten them up with my wrenches. Make sure they're nice and snug. You don't wanna go too hard, though, 'cause this is just plastic so there's a good chance of it breaking the flange if you go too hard on it. This one's a little bit cracked on this end but it is still okay to use 'cause that gasket inside still getting enough. But if it got any worse than that, I'd say go ahead and replace the flange. Now that all of our bolts are nice and tight, we're good to go. You can easily pull the new valve in and out and prevent any water from getting past this point until you're ready. Well, I think that about does it for today's installation of the Valterra Bladex single valve with hub to hub fittings here on our 2011 Coachman Freelander Class C motorhome. My name's Kevin. Thanks for watching.
Works perfectly for our motorhome. Great product.
