Today we're going to be taking a look at the Valterra RV Waste Valve. This unit simply adds or replaces a waste valve on your RV's waste system. It's made from a strong and durable black plastic construction. It does come with the end cap for the drain outlet. The cap is going to be tethered to the unit so that way you don't accidentally lose it or misplace it. The connection point here will accept a standard 3-inch diameter drain hose with a bayonet-style fitting on it. Bayonet-style fitting is a very strong connection point, makes for a nice tight seal, and this is going to have the 4-prong attachment design.
The other side, this is going to connect to your RV's plumbing system. Now, internally, it's going to have the threads on it, so this is going to accept a 3-inch threaded plumbing pipe. If we take an internal measurement real quick of just that diameter, that's going to give us a measurement of about 3-1/4 inches, and again, the inside of that connection point is threaded. Overall, it's a nice strong durable design. It's already preassembled. All the hardware is included.
To get the cap back on, simply place it on there and you just twist it until you can't twist it anymore. Those prongs engage right here in those connection points. On the top, we're going to have the easily accessible T-handle. That makes opening and closing the gate quick and easy, just like that. Now, also internally there's going to be seals that are already installed and that's going to offer a leak-proof performance. A measurements I want to go over with you real quick.
We're just going to take a look at the overall length with the handle in the closed position. That looks like it's going to give us a measurement of right around 9-1/2 inches, and then with it fully extended, that's going to increase the overall measurement to right around 13 inches long. That's going to do it for today's look at the Valterra RV Waste Valve.

I love the extra security of having another dump valve.
No leaks, and works great.
A good fix to a leaky grey and black holding tank gate valve that's not easy to get to. Time will tell if it seals well and how long it lasts.
It is difficult to rate this RV gate valve. What is there to say? I like that it has a locking cap connected to it. One thing that I didn't notice is that the other end is threaded. The downside to this is that a socket weld (slip joint) would probably be easier to retrofit if the piping was already in place.
I am installing the new tank further from the edge and connecting all the drain piping with flexible couplings. Thus, if the valve is again destroyed due to driver error or road trash, it won't damage the tank.
etrailer.com did a very nice thing for me. I ordered the valve then the next day had a screen popup display the same valve at a lower price. I sent a screenshot of that to them and they retroactively awarded me their 110% low price guarantee. This saved a bit of money.
Cool.
Awesome product. I had to replace basically all of the plumbing for both tanks. I ordered all of the parts from this site and I got everything without any issues. One of the parts I order was the wrong part and I had to send it back. They asked no questions and let me send back the item without any issues and I got my money back quickly. I highly recommend this part, but more importantly this site. Good job!
Used this on my vintage camper with low ground clearance. Worked great. Thanks George

Even after a year of use, the Valterra waste valve works great. It never fails and has worked seamlessly each time.
