Question:
Can the handle be removered on the T1003VP in order Toto extend the the rod. If the handle does unscrew, how can I prevent the shaft from getting damaged. If the shaft is knuled will the product function properly or is there a seal on the shaft?

Expert Reply:
Yes, the handle of the Valterra waste valve, part # T1003VP, does unscrew so it can be replaced or extended. We have several different lengths of extended rods that fit:
8 inches, # TX8HPB
9 inches, # TX9HPB
24 inches, # TX24HPB
32 inches, # TX32HPB
36 inches, # TX36HPB
We also have a kit, part # T1046-12VP, that includes 2 adjustable rods so you can extend the handles between 6-8 inches with one or 9-11 inches with the other.
You could also use a new valve that has an extension cable, like part # TC372, if that's what you prefer.
