How Much to Tighten Bolts on Double RV Waste Valves - Sewer Wye - Rotating - 3" Hub and 1-1/2" Hub
Updated 09/08/2022 | Published 09/06/2022
Question:
How tight do the bolts need to be to keep the valves from rotating? I dont want to tighten too much and break the abs but I also dont want leaks or the valves to move. Thanks

In regards to the Double RV Waste Valves part # TR38, you'll tighten the bolts hand tight until snug and then use your wrench another half turn or so. If you have leaks you can go back and snug them down more but you can't unbreak the plastic flanges so it's best to progressively work your way up in regards to the torque.
