Replace the standard waste valves on your RV's wastewater tanks with these electric ones so that you can open and close the valve with the flip of a switch. Light comes on when valve is open. Wiring harness and switch plate included.
Features:
The switch plate, wiring, seals, and hardware needed to install these electric waste valves on your RV's black water tank and gray water tank are included. The switch plate installs in the RV's control panel. The waste valves secure to existing pipes using ABS solvent cement (A05-0303 - sold separately). A booklet with step-by-step instructions and a template for drilling are also included.
If you're dry camping or in the case of a power failure, the manual override is easy to use. Simply remove the pin from the valve's lift arm and turn the handle 90 degrees clockwise. Then pull the handle to open the valve.

Replace the standard waste valves on your RV's wastewater tanks with these electric ones so that you can open and close the valve with the flip of a switch. Light comes on when valve is open. Wiring harness and switch plate included.The Drain Master cam-lock waste water hose is second to none, but after having to use a small allen wrench to manually open/close a failed Drain Master black tank valve, I replaced both with this Valterra assembly. They require a fair amount of space above them to open, but it is much easier to manually operate them, if necessary. They are well-constructed. No leaks, no problems after a year of use, and etrailer offered quick delivery and excellent customer service.
Keep in mind-- the switches are a rocker design that makes open/close positions less obvious, and in bright sun, the red led may be hard to see. I learned this while flushing out my black tank. After I was finished, I reinserted the stopper, thinking the black tank valve was closed. The next time I went to drain the tanks, I took the stopper out, and had a 40 gallon gusher of raw sewage! One thing I can say about all my RV mistakes- I never repeat them!
1 year review. Purchased the Valterra electric waste dump valves (3 ea.) and after 1 year the motor on one unit has failed. I did reorder a replacement unit as I still prefer these over traditional cable pull valves.
I’m retired didn’t want to crawl under and pull the lever anymore. Any do it your selfer can install. Fantastic for me!!
Ordered and received in 3 days with free shipping. Installed the following weekend in about 2 hours. Tested prior to and after installation. All necessary materials were supplied in package. The valves stroke cleanly and quickly. Indicators show open valves. Good quality switches. I am extremely happy with these valves. Wish I knew of them sooner. Well worth every penny.
Best upgrade I have ever done to my cam per!!
I haven't used it yet, but got it in record time. Thanks
Got it today thought I’ll probably put in Saturday and as I took it out of the box the manual lever lock was broke and filed down to make it look like it was meant to be. And it also said that it comes with the black and gray water switch, it only came with the black tank one. Direction should have been included, right nope.
Installation was easy…. Getting to them was the hard part.
Taking down the underbelly was less than fun. Cutting holes in it was even a worse idea.
But, installation went well. Great product, super fast open and close, easy to wire and made my own console for the switches which wasn’t hard either.
Had to put them in different directions due to the main sewer drain being in the way but the auto gate valves do not care which way they go, they work fine either way. Just hope they last as I really don’t like working on my back….
I installed 3 of these valves on my RV, i've had them for a year now with no problems with the valves themselves the only issue was one of the switch red lights that lets you know it's open went out but really don't need it, I am very pleased
Except for having to make some minor modifications to my flanges (they were bowed out between the bolt holes) so the actuators were clearing the flange, the install was easy. The flange issue is not the valve manufacturers fault, just how the flange was made. My old valves were cable style and cheap and these will be a great upgrade on Leaky crappy valves. I was tired of getting the sewer surprise every time I dumped. etrailer delivered on time and at a good value.
Nice valve for remote operation . The wiring is 4 ft from switch to motor/valve, and 3 ft of wire for power. I replaced power wire with a 10 ft piece which was only $9 bucks. Take pic of switch wiring cause you need to remove wires from switch to pass wires through any holes you drill in floor and cabinets, etc . Watch out for water , electric wires when drilling holes. Hole needs to be at least 1/2”for wire ends to pass through. If wood is thick I would do 5/8” hole . Pass big wire ends through first and smaller next. Or cut wire ends off and recrimip new ends after running wires.
Every things was in the package , arrive at the time its was schedule .
The installation went very good and easy , to dot it your self if you are manuel its will work find.
I change a existing cable valve with this electric waste valve , the only bad situation was to work under the RV .
The valve work great .
I replaced the 2 manual valves with 2 E40A-8’s...one of the best upgrades I’ve done with my Renegade RV.... Easy installation......Great product..... Great price..... Thanks etrailer.... You’re still the best.....
The customer loves it. He said it's a lot easier to control all the dumps in one spot.
Switch installed backwards
Install a little hard but valve worked great.
This is such a great product,I don't know why it is not an option more often on a rv.I installed the control switch inside my rv near a window that looks out on the sewer connection.I have the clear 3" elbows on both hose ends of my sewer hose,and can observe from inside, the operation of emptying my black tank.Being able to do so during rainy or cold weather is such a great luxury.I have had this in operation for about a year now and it has performed flawlessly.I chose this brand over others due to the ability to manually operate valve in event of a power loss.Installation was very simple and instructions were very detailed.Will never have a rv without one now.
Good quality components. One of the valve actuators arrived damage. Contacted etrailer and they shipped out a replacement. All in all great addition to my sister-in-law's rig as she has trouble bending down
So far a very good valve. I just removed the old cable valve and this slipped right into it's place.
There was one little surprise, the instructions did not indicate which 12v wire was positive. There is a black and white wire. I assumed black was positive, it's not. So of course the valve opened when I connected the wires.
I bought this item hoping it would fix the issues I had with the factory installed cable, NOPE. This part is no better than the cable system. The clip that hold the valve handle to the electric motor doesn’t clip on correctly, I even tried making it work with zip ties, it worked for maybe two weeks, now I just crawl under the RV and operate it manually. Don’t waste your money.
After one year these valves have been flawless. I added one for black and one for grey tank on our Montana 5th wheel. So much better than the stiff cable valves it had from the factory that never completly closed.
I would recommend this product to anyone who has long remote pull drains.
It made both the black and gray water work without a hitch. Just smooth full open to full closed. Well worth the money. Install them myself with the help of my son. They bolted right up no problem.
Was originally thold the items would not ship until the week of the 10th, almost a full week after my order was placed. When I called about the order was told it was out of stock. But their website said instock. I recieved the order this afternoon on the 10th. I have been overall very happy with Etrialer and will continue to order from them. As far as the valve, install is tomorrow
I am more than satisfied with this product. We purchased a brand New Renegade Vienna MH, on a Mercedes Chassis. It is a very nice Motor Home, but the very tight spaces underneath the rear caused the (cable pull) Valves very hard to pull and would not close all the way. To our disappointment the manufacturer could not make them work to my satisfaction. A independent repair facility near us suggested the Valterra Electric valves. The manual valves that were on the MH already were Valterra, so the switch was extremely easy. BEST DECISION I've made in years. I 100% suggest this product

A year later, we are still full-time in the RV. I am using the Valterra valves every couple days and they continue to operate faultlessly.
