Can Center Section of Electric Waste Valve E40B-8 Replace Manual Setup
Published 05/23/2022
Question:
Do I need to cut the existing hub off and replace both in and out hubs? Or can I remove the 4 bolts, slide out manual valve and slide in the electric valve??? To try and cut off existing flanges and glue on new to my 3inch pipes would be a major replumbing job which is not worth the upgrade.

Expert Reply:
To make your life easier you could just remove the center section of your current waste valve and then install just the center section of the part # E40B-8 so that you can convert to an electric setup without having to deal with a much more involved install since the pipes are plastic welded and can't come apart without cutting.
