Today we're going to be taking a look at the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve. This is a three inch valve. It's going to allow you to replace, repair, or upgrade to a new dependable valve. It's got a metal handle right here on top. Very strong, durable design. You shouldn't have to worry about that ever breaking.
That's going to sit on top of a stainless steel shaft that's going to be strong and durable, as well as highly resistant to rust and corrosion. Now, these valves are interchangeable with most other brands. It's going to include the valve, the seals, the nuts and bolts for your full installation. The seals are made from a santoprene construction that's designed to resist chemicals and corrosion. Now, when you're ready to install the unit you'll need to remove your old valve and seals. Place the new seals over the lip of the existing flanged fittings. Insert the new valve, being careful not to dislodge the seals.
Then, tighten everything down for your full installation with the included hardware. A few measurements to go over with you real quick. I do want to mention just how easy of an operation it offers. Really nice design. Allows you to easily open and close the unit. You've got the T-grip handle right here and it just operates really nice and smooth.
Now, the overall length of the unit with it in a closed position is going to be about nine and a half inches. With it open we're looking at about twelve and three quarters of a inch. The width is going to measure about four and three eighths of an inch. Then, it's got four mount holes that's going to be a square pattern, so the distance that we have between each hole, measuring on center, is going to be about three and three quarters of an inch. That's going to be the same separation between each hole. That's going to do it for today's look at the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve..

Thanks for the email
I don't have much to say about the product. It is static in the open position 90% of the time.
I do appreciate how you at etrailer have kept me informed and asked questions, insuring that I am satisfied.
You may be able to tell from the attached photos, we are using these as gate valve for a fume exhaust system.
These are old photos. We have moved to a new facility, and the hoses are upgraded.
Great price and products. Could have been shipped quicker.
Converting airstream thetford valve to vaulters. The combination I chose dropped the drain 2” below the belly. I’ll have to install a grey tank to tuck everything up in my 73 Sovereign 31’ center bath rv.
There is nothing glamorous about buying 3" DWV fittings. But, etrailer made it easy with their great website and helpful videos. Was able to order all the fittings I needed to install a Sani-Con on my fifth wheel.
Used this to replace the old valve on my black tank. Works as advertised
Well I ordered quantity of 3, not sure what happened?
Original order # 115243947

Holding up well still makes a great seal
Easy to install. I would recommend to coat seals with petroleum jelly to hold in place while installing. Make sure black water tank is well drained and cleaned out before beginning install. Otherwise could be smelly business.

5 stars. Easy to install after one year no problems noted. Still opens and closes easy. Recommend etrailer highly.
Perfect fit and ridiculously easy to install! It came super fast and took about 10 minutes to install. I only wish I had bought a second one and swapped out the gray water valve while I was at it!
Prior to receiving my order I was thinking that I would have to purchase associated hardware and seals, but the part I ordered came with new associated hardware and seals. That was an awesome discovery. It came ready to install.
Valterra Bladex Waste Valve Body for rv waste tanks, fit and function was perfect. I purchased the valves with the new seals and bolts. Changed both in about 10 minutes. So if you have a gray water and black water tank, go ahead and replace them both. Your there one time to take care of any problems.
I just recently purchased an (OLD) 1988 ALPENLITE, 25+2 Fifth wheel camp trailer. As
you would expect "the old girl needs some TLC". I am a new customer to etrailer & so far their service has been "GREAT" !!!!!!!!!!. The customer service ladies I have dealt w/
have both been very help full.
I was highly impressed with my first experience with etrailer and Karen, the assistant who helped me with my order. It was exactly as advertised and at a very fair price. I used economy shipping and received my order in three days.
I will definitely go right to etrailer the next time I need RV parts.

Shippping was timely and status was available for each step. Installation was easy with new hardware.
I installed both grey water and sewer valves and it was a fairly simple job. The valves fit perfectly and I am happy with the Valterra valves.
This item was out of stock for several weeks but etrailer stayed in touch with me and keep me informed of the status of the order on a regular basis. The item arrived last week and now I am ready for my next camping trip. I have ordered from etrailer in the past. Thier customer service and products are second to none.
Excellent replacement valve for my 5th wheel.
Exact replacement for 1990 Airstream black and gray dump valves. Work well.
Very good product very happy with the trailer was very easy to install

Works perfect highly recommend etrailer.
perfect replacement for existing Bristol valves that got destroyed by a tire blowout going down the highway...always satisfied with etrailer's fast shipping & quality products.
Excellent pricing, service & prompt delivery. Took about an hour to install both Grey & Black water dump valves.
Reasonable price, super speedy shipping, item protected well in box. Appreciate the quick response to my product question. Was easy to install and such a relief to not lay down at a nasty dump station to pull the old gate out (bad back and neck). Camping just became a little more fun . . .
Everything I said about the smaller valve applies here. Don't tighten much beyond hand tightening and make sure the rubber gasket is properly seated. Once installed, these valves should work trouble free for years to come.
Do you have a question about this RV Waste Valve?
