Question:

I own a keystone raptor toyhauler with front and rear gray and black water tanks. Can the power wire to back valves be extended from outside control panel to back tanks?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve part # E40-8 is an excellent option for hassle/mess free dumping. The wire leads on the valve are about 8-1/2" long whereas the wire leads on the switch are about 7' long. If you need more space between the valve and switch then you can certainly extend the wires as needed with some butt connectors. That said, just be sure to cut far enough behind the connector that you still have room to attach the butt connector.
