Video Transcript for Valterra ABS Solvent Cement Review
Conner: Hey guys. Conner here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the ABS Weld-On Solvent.Now, the Valterra ABS Weld-On Solvent is going to be used so we can fuse together all of our sewer lines on our coach or motor home. Essentially, this differs from normal cement in that this is actually going to form a fusion weld with the ABS plastic. It's specifically designed for this exact purpose. Similar to what we might find for PVC pipes where it's actually cement, this is going to cause a chemical reaction with the plastic and form a nice tight and secure seal.
But please keep in mind, since we are dealing with chemicals here, we always want to make sure we have the proper protection such as safety gloves and our safety glasses.I'm going to show you how to use this, but if we could just take a quick look right here. You can see it's inaudible 00:00:47 of a slimy gooey substance. We're essentially going to show you how to use this. Let's start out with, we're just going to be coating the outer diameter of the pipes as well as the inner diameter of the fitting. That's going to take about three minutes for this to set up and then it will be safe to handle the fittings.
However, it is going to take a full 30 minutes to cure. We always want to make sure before we use this the lid is on nice and tight. We want to give it a good shake to make sure all the materials are mixed around. The Valterra ABS Weld-On Solvent has a shelf life of about three years. It comes in this nice convenient quarter size pint, and today we're going to be showing you how to use this when we install the waste valves on our motor home here.So what we're going to do here is open our can up.
Once we have it open, we're going to take our solvent here and we're essentially just going to try to get it around the outer diameter of the pipe, making sure not to make too much of a mess. Once we have a good coat of the solvent around the outside diameter of the pipe, we can go ahead and press on our first coupler here. And then we want to push that all the way back to make sure we get as much as a seal as possible with the pipe, and then we're going to let that dry for a few minutes and we can move on to the other side. Make sure when we're putting on our ABS sealant that we coat not only the outside diameter of the pipe, but also the inner diameter of the fitting as well. Now we're just going to continue on piecing everything back together.Now that we have everything in place, we're going to want to go ahead and give it some time to let everything seal and cure over time.
I would say around 20 or 30 minutes or so. And then we can go into the RV and pour some water down our sinks and our toilet so we can test everything out to make sure there's no leaks. Upon visual inspection here, we don't see any leaks. However, what you want to do is take a piece of cardboard, set it under the valves and make sure. Let it sit for about five to 10 minutes and make sure you don't see any leaks. That'll let us know that all the fittings in the pipes are secure. However, we do want to remove our bayonet cap here and make sure the valves are sealed as well. As you can see, we don't have any water here, so we know those have done their job. That's going to do it here today for the Valterra ABS Weld-On Solvent.

how do you hook you hook up your sewer hose to this part??? There is a piece of pipe adhered to the drain that blocks you from installing the sewer hose.

I had a little mishap this past winter and didn't do a very good job of winterizing my RV and ended up with busted grey water drain pipes. After checking at the local big-box hardware store (parts not available) and a well-known camping retailer ($$$$$) I logged onto etrailer and, "voila" ...there's what I need to do the repairs. After a short conversation with George J. to confirm they were the correct parts I placed my order and even with "economy shipping" my parts were here and installed in about a week without breaking the bank.
etrailer always seems to have the right product at the right price and very fast shipping!

works the 1st time

This is the cement (glue) you need to use if your sewer pipe on your RV is black and says 'ABS' on the pipe, to glue on new fittings. Works as it should, and on 3" fittings, it only gives you a couple of seconds to push on the fitting with a twist onto the plastic pipe. It will set fast on these hot days of summer so get ready and know just how your fittings need to be BEFORE you put the cement on them! And all will be well; just follow directions on cement container and know that it is going to set fast on a hot day.

This worked great at rerouting pipe and making gray water bigger
by: V Pierce09/20/2019
I had a broken lug on the black sewer line. Purchased a new adapter and abs cement to replace it. Cut through the old adapter in 3 places and broke it loose using a hammer and screw driver. Removal was straight forward and not as difficult as expected. The new part fit perfectly and the abs glue welded right on. No dripping black water!

by: Cindy G07/23/2018
Works great. Despite the other part indicating you do not need this, we used it anyway to secure the gaskets on the black water valve. So far so good.

See what our Experts say about this Valterra RV Sewer Hose Fittings
- How to Fix Leaky Sewer Hose ConnectorsThere is always going to be some degree of tolerance for sewer fittings from and within different manufacturers. It will be best to use the same brands but it is not necessarily a rule. Most of the time, a leak occurs form the lack of a sealant like part # A05-0303 on threaded connections or a bad o-ring inside the spigot or bayonet fittings. The majority of our sewer connectors and adapters are from Camco and Valterra. We have found the two to work well together assuming the above is performed....
view full answer... - How Are Old RV Waste Valves RemovedYou have to cut off the old valves when replacing them like with the Double RV Waste Valves - Sanitation Tee - Rotating # T18A since the solvent used to install the valves creates a permanent connection. For solvent to install the new valves we have the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303.
view full answer... - Can I Use PVC Cement with Valterra Waste Valves The Double RV Waste Valve part # T80 is more than likely correct for your 2010 Casita Spirit Deluxe. In order to be sure you will just want to take a quick measurement of the black and grey water lines. The black water line should be 3" diameter and the grey water line should be 1-1/2"diameter as this is standard for RV's but a quick check would confirm this. The PVC cement you have cannot be used with the Double RV Waste Valve as it is made of ABS, not PVC. The Valterra ABS Solvent Cement...
view full answer... - How To Attach Fittings To The Valterra RV Water TankThe Valterra RV Water Tank # R8042 being solvent weldable simply means that you can glue the fittings onto to the tank using the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303. To install a valve or hose on this tank you would simply need to use the existing opening or pop out a different one to fit your application and use the Solvent to glue it into place in the opening.
view full answer... - Valterra Double RV Waste Valve Inner Diameter Dimensions For the Double RV Waste Valves - Sewer Wye - 3" Fixed Hub and 1-1/2" Rotating Hub # T38 the internal dimension of the black tank hub is 3.5" to allow for a 3" pipe to slide into it and the internal dimension of the gray water tank hub is 1-15/16" to allow for a 1-1/2" pipe to slide into. The bayonet end that has you would hook up a drain pipe to has a 3" inner diameter. To attach these hubs to their respective pipes you'll need some Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303 as well.
view full answer... - Replacement 3 inch Waste Valve to Replace Bristol Waste ValveYes, the Valterra RV 3 inch Waste Valves, like part # T50, are designed to fit standard waste fittings. The part that I referenced is just the regular waste valve. If you are looking at a specific design, you can find a variety of designs on the linked product search page. You will want to make sure to use Solvent Cement, like part # A05-0303, for a complete and secure installation.
view full answer... - Replacement Double RV Waste Valve for Older Travel TrailerThe Valterra # T38 Double RV Waste Valve isn't travel trailer or valve brand specific. As long as the existing black water drain is 3 inches and the gray water drain is 1-1/2 inches in diameter, the Valterra # T38 would be compatible. The ABS solvent cement is available separately as part # A05-0303.
view full answer... - Can The Valterra Double Waste Valve Hub Replace Current Valves On A 2010 Coachmen Freedom TrailerYes, you could just simply swap out to the Double RV Waste Valves - Sewer Wye - 3" Fixed Hub and 1-1/2" Rotating Hub # T38. You will probably find it is put together with some ABS solvent cement # A05-0303 which will require you to cut the old pipes. I recommend keeping the cut as close to the valve connection as possible and then you won't have to add on additional pipes to add length.
view full answer... - Is Sealant Required When Installing Valterra Fixed Y Double Valve You need to use a sealant like our Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303 to seal the connections when installing the # T38. Without doing that you most likely would get leaks. You current setup will be glued too so it would require you to break it loose.
view full answer... - How to Remove Old Sewage Drain Assembly to Install Valterra Double RV Waste ValvesYes, when replacing sewer parts that have been installed with ABS Solvent Cement like part # A05-0303 you will need to cut the pipe right where the old valve is installed so you can install the Valterra Waste Valves # TR38. If you think this will reduce your sewer pipe by too much then you may need to cut most of the old pipe off and add a new piece that is about the same current length. We don't carry any replacement pipe but you should be able to find some at your local hardware or home...
view full answer... - Is Glue Used to Install the Valterra Fixed Y Double Valve T38You will need to use a glue to attach the part # T38. The part is ABS plastic, so you could use an ABS sealant or glue. The glue is not included though. Part number # 0160297 will seal plastic parts and would work well for you.
view full answer... - How To Connect The Drain Pipe Of The LaSalle Bristol Single Bowl RV Bathroom Sink To The Bowl The drain pipe of the LaSalle Bristol Single Bowl RV Bathroom Sink - 16" Long x 12-1/4" Wide - White # 34416166PW is going to attach to the bowl using some ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303.
view full answer... - What Temp Does It Need To Be To Use the Valterra ABS Solvent CementThe Valterra ABS Solvent Cement part # A05-0303 can be used in any temperature within reason. That said, the lower the temp the longer cure time it will require. The ideal temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no max or min temperature in the instructions.
view full answer... - Can the Glue That Comes with the Valterra ABS Tank Fill Kit Be Purchased Separately Yes, we do offer just the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement part # A05-0303 which is the same thing that comes with the Valterra ABS Tank Fill Kit part # RK908.
view full answer... - What Type of Solvent/Sealant Should be Used For Pipes of LaSalle Bristol RV Bathroom Sink BowlThe LaSalle Bristol Single Bowl RV Bathroom Sink # 34416156PWA is made from ABS plastic so you'd want to seal with an ABS solvent like the # A05-0303 and not a PVC cement.
view full answer... - 3" Hub Fitting On Black Water Tank ValveYes, this will fit over a 3" line from your black water tank. You will not need anything between the black water line and the hub except for some Valtera # A05-0303 solvent cement. This assumes that this will put the outlet of your valves where that you need it. Otherwise you may need some PVC parts (nipple and coupler) to extend the location.
view full answer... - Can the Lippert Waste Master RV Sewer Hose Be Trimmed?While we do not have what you're looking for, but if storage is the issue, then you can just trim the excess of the Lippert Waste Master RV Sewer Hose w/ Leakproof Camlock and 90-Degree Nozzle # LC359724 and glue the pieces back together with the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303. This will allow you to trim the hose down to a manageable length for your RV and still allow you to use it. Attached are a couple of videos for you to check out as well. If you're after something different,...
view full answer... - Glue to Use to Connect RV Sewer PipeWhen gluing together Valterra RV sewer pipes like the # T1028 you'd need to use an ABS solvent cement like the part # A05-0303.
view full answer... - T58 Valterra Waste Valve at the End of Stock Waste Valve PipeYou can install part # T58 at the end of the pipe with the stock valve open all the time. Installing this is going to make life a lot easier and you won't have to crawl under your camper. I do recommend part # A05-0303 as well. The cement is going to ensure a tight water seal all the time.
view full answer... - Is the Double RV Sanitary Tee Part T1013 Offered With Two 1-1/2 Inch HubsI do have an option for you but the Double RV Sanitary Tee part # T1013 is not offered with two 1-1/2" hubs. However, you can obtain a 2" to 1-1/2" ABS Reducer at your local home improvement store in order to make this sanitation tee work for you but we unfortunately do not offer this fitting at this time because the 2" fittings size is rather uncommon. The Valterra ABS Solvent Cement part # A05-0303 can then be used to attach everything once you get the reducer that you need.
view full answer... - Can Valterra RV Waste Valve # T11 be Mounted HorizontallyValterra RV Waste Valve # T11 can be installed horizontally. We state to position the valve at the desired angle during installation which would indicate it could technically be placed at any angle. For installation I do recommend some ABS solvent # A05-0303 if you do not already have some.
view full answer... - How to Install Projected Male Slip FittingTo install the Projected Male Slip Fitting # 372216-A-MS-A to your gray tank you're going to clean the surface area and then apply some cement like the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303 to the shorter side of the fitting. Give it 30 minutes to cure and then you can attach your hose and clamp to the longer end that is sticking out!

- Using Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank To Replace Manual ValveThe Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank part # E40A-8 is designed to replace a single 3" black water tank valve. It has spigot couplings on the ends which are designed to slide into a 3" diameter black abs sewer pipe and then attach with solvent like part # A05-0303. If you're replacing an existing valve you would just simply cut the old valve and fittings off and attach the new ones using the method above. Finally, you would run your wires to a power source and...

So you could use the Valterra Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Spigot to 3" Lug # T50A which you'd use the solvent part # A05-0303 to attach the spigot end to the pipe and then can use the lug cap to go over the valve when not used.
