Need Replacement Black Water Valve For 2104 Jayco Eagle Premier 371-FLFS  

The waste drainage system on my Pleasure-Way had a cracked flange on the black side, and was leaking. I had to cut out the old valves, all the fittings and flanges and custom rebuild the whole assembly. The Valterra waste valve worked fine and has been for the last year.

Perfect match in my 11 Tiffin, changed both 3” black tank. and 1 1/2 grey tank valves in about an hour, comes with all new gaskets and new bolts, be careful not to over tighten bolts

I bought a 2002 Shadow Cruiser camper, that came from the Florida area to North Carolina. The previous owners did not winterize the camper when they moved up north and it cracked up the whole blackwater system. I replaced both the black and gray valves and everything works great.

I replaced the black water tank valve on my 2020 Pleasure Way. It had a different brand valve (I don't remember the brand). The Valterra 3 inch valve, seals, and bolts fit the existing plumbing with no adjustments necessary. My class B is low to the ground and I have a little bit of difficulty with my vision and getting under the camper. I installed the Valterra Valve three times and each time had a small leak at the valve. It was NOT a valve issue. I called an RV tech. He also installed twice with a small leak each time. Before installing on the third attempt, he saw a small amount of PVC cement that looked to be interfering with the valve. He cut out the PVC cement with a razor knife, reinstalled the valve with no leaks and no problems since. The valve works much smoother than when I purchased the van (third owner and five years old). I am pleased with the performance. On a related note, the original valve was hard to open and close. After dumping the tanks and on my next rinse when I got back home at a nearby park dump station (filled the black tank for flushing again), a small amount of water came out the tube when I removed the cap. That prompted me to further check the valve and discovered the leak (see above discussion). Although the Valterra black tank valve was replaced and is working good, I opted to place another Valterra waste valve 3 inch hub on the end of my hose connection (where the cap installs) to give me some peace of mind in the event either black or grey tank valve developed a leak (don't want any surprises when the cap is removed). It is an easy twist on install and has worked well as a secondary valve. It does untwist relatively easy so there is a pin to install on the valve to prevent it from coming off when you twist off the cap or hose. I hold the hub in one hand when I take off the cap.

I bought this valve and other parts to repair the drain that was damaged on the pod I purchased. Not sure how the damage happened but all my new parts fit perfectly and I have no issues with the drain anymore.
