LaSalle Bristol doesn't make it so that you can replace much on their cable actuated waste valves besides just the handle so you would be better off just replacing the entire valve and cable system with Valterra's Black #TC372 and Gray…
Hey Ed, congratulations on the new motorhome! For a surge protector I would stick with the Watchdog models from Hughes Autoformers. These are nice because the surge model can be replaced if you actually experience a surge instead of replacing the…
The gasket is the portion of the gate valve that's allowing waste water to leak through and not actually the gate. Both companies are using a rubber gasket that will eventually fail so it really comes down to the other features of the gate valve…
I spoke with my contact at Valterra, who confirmed that the Valterra valve should replace a standard LaSalle Bristol unit. You can simply slide out the LaSalle Bristol valve, slide in the Valterra unit, and bolt it back in place. The Valterra EZ…

Hey Lance, welcome back! To replace your equalizers and shackles, I am going to need you to take a couple of measurements because I have no way of knowing what size the ones on your Heartland Cyclone are and we've got two options for both. To the…

RV waste valves are essential for managing your black and gray water systems. They ensure smooth operation and prevent leaks, making them a crucial component for any RV enthusiast. Consider factors like compatibility with your RV model, ease of installation, and the type of valve (manual or electric) when choosing the right one for your needs.
When selecting an RV waste valve, consider the compatibility with your RV's plumbing, the type of valve (manual or electric), and the ease of installation. Some valves come with additional features like built-in rinsing capabilities, which can be beneficial for maintaining your holding tanks.
Check the specifications of the valve to ensure it matches the size and type of your RV's existing plumbing. Some valves are OEM replacements, which means they are designed to fit specific RV models perfectly. It's also helpful to look for reviews from others with similar RV models.
Electric waste valves offer the convenience of remote operation, which can be a significant upgrade for many RV owners. They are generally easier to operate, especially in tight spaces. However, manual valves are often simpler to install and maintain, making them a reliable choice for those who prefer straightforward solutions.
Ensure you have the right tools and enough space to work comfortably. It's often recommended to replace all valves at once to provide slack in the pipes, making installation easier. If the screws provided are too short, consider using longer ones for a secure fit. Always check for leaks after installation.
Yes, some RV waste valves can be adapted for other uses, such as garden grey water systems. Ensure the valve's material and design are suitable for the intended application. It's always a good idea to consult with a professional if you're unsure about compatibility.
