Expert Reply:

If both of your current waste valves are for 3" sewer pipes then yes, you can definitely remove the valves from the Valterra EZ Valve Double Electric Waste Valves # E84-8 and install them in your WYE fitting.

If you have one 3" and then a smaller 1.5" on your WYE fitting then this will cause problems as the 3" valves are bigger than the 1.5" vlaves. They don't use universal valves.

You can possibly use some adapters though and fit 3" sewer pipes around 1.5" sewer pipes if you really want to use this setup though. You would just need to make sure that everything seals properly with ABS Solvent like part # A05-0303.
