Expert Answers about Water Shut Off Valve


  • Atwood Hot Water Heater Runs Constantly and Won't Shut Off Unless It's Shut Off Manually
  • I would first start by making sure that there isn't a leak anywhere on the water heater that would tell the system to keep heating up water. If you've confirmed that there isn't a leak anywhere on the system, you'll next want to check and make sure that the thermostat is up to the tank and making contact on the clear plastic spot; it could be a simple bad connection like this that is keeping the thermostat from reading the correct water temperature. I would also consider changing out the...

  • Can the Sprayer Head be Replaced on the Empire Faucets Hybrid RV Kitchen Faucet
  • The pull out sprayer head on the Empire Faucets Hybrid RV Kitchen Faucet part # EM29FR isn't something that can be replaced. If yours is broken you'd need to replace the entire unit as that is not a serviceable part. That said, it should be a pretty easy swap for most. I have attached some tips/steps below. - Turn Off Water Valves/Shut Off Pump - Get Bucket to Catch Water Spill - Unthread Water Connections - Remove Mounting Nuts - Replace Faucet

  • Troubleshooting Water Problems at the Check Valve
  • Check valves can fail due to ice in the winter or debris in warmer months, or simple wear at any time. I think if it were me I would try to warm the check valve with a heat source like a heat gun, being careful not to melt the plastic around it. At the outdoor connection to the check valve I would remove the rubber o-ring with the screen in it. It just pulls out. Then, looking in there you will see a stem sticking up in the middle. you should be able to push this stem in about 1/4". It...

  • Best Tankless Replacement Water Heater for Atwood G6A-8E
  • I suggest the Furrion Tankless Water Heater, # FR68SR as this would be closest in dimension to what you have including door size, which is 18"x18".

  • Replacement Water Heater for Atwood that Wont Shut Off
  • The Atwood water heaters have been discontinued and the replacement parts are getting harder to find. If you tried a new board and thermostats there really isn't anything else to try aside from replacing it. We have tankless water heaters like the Furrion part # FR93FR which would work great as a replacement for what you have now.

  • Replacement Drain Valve and Anode Rod for Surburban Water Heater
  • I am not extremely familiar with the Surburban Water Heaters but after some research it appears they have a two-in-one drain valve/anode rod. Although we do not have a direct replacement for this it looks like others that were having trouble finding this either did away with the anode rod and just installed a drain valve or did away with the drain valve and installed the anode rod. If you want to do away with the anode rod and just use a drain valve then you can obtain part # A10-4003VP...

  • Replacement Waste Valves Needed for a 2000 Fleetwood Discovery Motorhome
  • It actually looks like you have the Valterra Double RV Waste Valves # T80. This comes with both of the waste valves already installed and they can be rotated 360 degrees on the elbows for ease of installation. We do have replacement waste valves but to know exactly what you need you would have to take your current system apart. If it all comes off as one unit then you can install the # T80. If it comes apart differently please let me know and I can help you find the correct replacement...

  • Recommended Replacement Rod And Handle For A Gray Water Tank Waste Valve
  • You could use a replacement handle like part # TX8HPB to replace your lost valve rod. This one is 8" in length so it'll be just a bit longer than the original but will get the job done. I recommend throwing a bit of Loctite # LT37420 on the threads to help prevent the new rod from coming loose during any road vibration.

  • Sounds like you are asking if you were to install the Valterra Waste Valve part # T58 on the bayonet fittings of your black water valve if it would prevent a leak further upstream from passing through it? If so, yes that would technically work.

  • Replacement Gray Water Valve with 1-1/2" Diameter
  • You can use the Valterra Waste Valve # T1001B to replace what has broken off, as it is a 1-1/2" diameter pipe that is designed for gray water systems. The challenge, as you're aware, is what to do about the broken pipe that is lodged there. You can try to chip it out and use a small length of PVC pipe to replace the broken end and attach it to the # T1001B with some ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303. That's really the only way you're going to be able to accomplish this without cutting off...

  • Do Hub and Spigot Connections Need to be Cut Off to Swap Out Drain Valve
  • It depends on what type of waste valve you currently have. If you have a Valterra Bladex then you can replace the waste valve body with part # T1001VP for a 1-1/2" diameter or part # T1003VPM for a 3" diameter. If you have a different brand or you aren't able to swap out the valve body then you will need to replace it with the hub and spigot ends like part # 34466N11AB36GM or # 34466N4AB36GM respectively.

  • Replacement Water Heater for an Atwood GCH10A-3E Water Heater
  • I do have an option for you. But I can tell you that the feature you have with the hose coming from the engine through the water heater is no longer available. Since you are needing to replace your GCH10A-3E water heater, I recommend going with a tankless option like the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. The # FR98SR is a tankless, on-demand water heater that lets you simultaneously wash dishes, do laundry, and take endless hot showers without hot and cold water fluctuations....

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-10E Water Heater
  • The Dometic RV Water Heater - Gas - Automatic Pilot - 12 Volt - 8,800 Btu - 6 Gal Tank Item AT96121 is the direct replacement for the GC6AA-10E.

  • Replacement Thermostat Needed for 10 Gallon Atwood Gas/Electric Water Heater
  • It definitely sounds like you have a thermostat issue on your Atwood gas/electric 10 gallon water heater. I can't really vouch for the Camco RV Water Heater Thermostat # CAM08143 being compatible with your water heater but I can say that we have the Replacement Gas Regulator # 91602 which replaces the gas control valve and thermostat on the following Atwood gas/electric water heaters: AT94022, AT94023, AT94186, AT96117, AT96161SU, or AT96163 You'll want to check any stickers on the water...

  • Service / Repair Manual for Cardinal 5th Wheel
  • We do not have service manuals for any brand of RVs, but I may have a solution. We only have instructions for repair parts as provided by the manufacturer. In the case of the referenced valve, the manufacture has not provided any instructions. If you have the Valterra # T1003PBC that you referenced and you broke the "handle", I am going to guess that you are speaking about the handle in the wet bay rather than the handle where the valve is. If this is the case you may actually need the...
