Question:
Im using these RV waste valves to separate bins on my commercial fishing boat and I was wondering what your most rugged ones are? I put in a couple 3 plastic ones and the idea is sound but they arent sturdy enough for the application. Do you have any suggestions?

Hey Tav, the most "rugged" waste valve we have is going to be the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank # T40B. Valterra makes pretty good quality and durable products, so I'd recommend sticking with them.
