We have confirmed that the cable of the Valterra waste valves like part # TC172 can be trimmed shorter. While we don't have a video that shows this process you'd need to cut the outer cable and inner cable before assembling the valve. Special tools would not be required. Some wire cutters would be all you'd need.
