Video Transcript for Valterra RV Sewer - Waste Valves - T50 Review
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 going to be made from a strong and durable black plastic construction. It does come with the end cap right here for the drain outlet. The cap is going to be tethered to the unit so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing that or misplacing it. The connection point right here for your drain hose, this is going to accept your standard three inch diameter drain hose with a bayonet style fitting. That's got four attachment prongs on there.
Then you're going to have the easily accessible handle up here that's a t-grip handle. That's going to open and close the gate. The other side that connects to your RV's plumbing system. This is going to accept three inch standard plumbing pipe, so what we can do is simply take an internal measurement of that. As we do, you'll see that that is going to give us a measurement internally of about three and a half inches.
That's the diameter there, inside edge to inside edge, so your plumbing pipe on your RV, that's going to have an internal diameter of three inches. That's going to have quarter inch wall tubing on it. When you combine that three inch inner diameter with a quarter inch on each side of the tubing, that's where we get the three and a half inch diameter from, which will fit perfectly inside of the connection point here on this waste valve. Overall, it's a nice structural design. The hardware's included. The unit's already pre-assembled.
The t-handle's going to make opening and closing the gate quick and easy. The unit's already assembled and it has the appropriate seals internally to offer a leak-proof performance. The last thing I want to mention is I just want to go over some overall measurements with you. What we can do is I'm just going to take and overall length measurement of the unit with it closed and then with the handle fully extended. When we do that from edge to edge, we're looking at a measurement of about nine and a half inches. When we extend that out, that's going to increase it to around 13 inches.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Valterra RV waste valve.

I no longer have to reach under my motorhome to connect the drain hose thanks to the added waste valve. Works perfectly.

One of my best purchases. Really makes drain process so much easier and cleaner.
by: Kevin04/11/2019
Last November I purchased a drain valve from etailer. I recently got around to installing it on my 2018 Montana High Country fifth wheel camper. The valve shut offs are operated by (throttle) cable. These valves do not always close completely. I chose to install the valve at the outlet just in case the cable valves don't completely close. Attached is a before and after picture.
Thank you etrailer.
by: David 06/29/2023
It was exactly what I ordered,One on my travel trailer,hanger broke,it kind of disintegrated,before I noticed it,while dragging on the street.This looks easy to replace and will be good to go on my next camping trip.
I have order things before from ETrailer and am always completely satisfied.
by: Arizona08/04/2019
My experience with Valterra valves is that they're very reliable and of good quality. This valve fit perfectly for my application (on a 3in ABS sewer pipe) I was able to install in minutes. Used my old cap as it has a hose bib.
Very satisfied with price, quality and fitment.

Fast service. Great product
by: Ben11/15/2020
Product arrived as expected. I haven’t installed the product but have exercised the valve found it to be lubed properly and function smoothly and it confirms while my current valve is operable its not operating properly so I’m glad I’ll now be able to replace it with a quality product and have peace of mind that I’m not polluting the highways with you know what. It combines and replaces two separate parts for my specific RV so it’s all around a win win
by: Traci 11/11/2023
High quality, durable, made to last
by: Steve P07/06/2023
Works as intended. Slide is easy to move and seals to prevent water bypassing the gate.
by: Ron 05/01/2023
I won't have any surprises next time I remove the cap to attach the sewer hose.
by: Dennis 09/11/2022
The waste valve is really a must have. If you have ever opened the cap on your sewer drain only to discover that one of your valves was not shut properly, you will understand why. It is easy to install and smooth to operate.
by: Gary06/13/2023
Works very well. As always, very fast shipping, item as promised.
by: David 01/30/2020
Had a cable system for black and gray disposal. Always hard to open. Replaced with traditional valves. Worked perfectly.

I would swear I bought the slip on version but in my case this version that was shipped worked perfect. 2020 Jayco has two grey and one black exiting to this 3" RV drain. Consistently I would get at least one gallon of grey sewage when opening the cover. Could be a leaking valve (hidden away under the bellows skirting or it could be residual in the pipes. In either case I hacksaw cut out the existing bayonet hub then cemented this in (just like your PVC sprinkler pipes) it's place at the end of the run. So I now have 3 stock valves and one new 3" value exactly the same distance under the trailer as was the stock cover and bayonet hub. You might call it my emergency valve. Easy access and easy maintenance...the way it should be! I did not buy the ridiculous $5,000+ warranty and dealer wants $180 per hour not including the repair, plus the tech never called my back. Typical customer service in the RV world. Works if you have enough PVC exposed to make the cut. Sorry no photos.
by: Gene 10/13/2022
Was a bit more difficult to install than anticipated. Matting up to the old plumbing was interesting. In the end was able to get everything working properly. Has seen limited use since the repair. Did do a cursory look at it the other day and all worked as it was supposed to. Happy with the results.
by: William M07/07/2020
Easy to install, works great! Going to buy another to re-plumb my main sewer line.

After one year the valve is still working great. I’ve now installed a second valve on my rear tank and can’t say enough good things about the quality and durability of the valve. Highy recommended.
by: Dave K.07/08/2020
Had one of my valves that leaked and when taking cap off to hook up hose, out came a mess on ground. This installed on end of dump pipe ended that problem.
by: Roger05/21/2018
Excellent quality, packaged very well. Arrived sooner than expected! Great online service for parts. Parts will be used to separate black water from grey water, black water to septic, grey water to tank for other uses. Thanks again,
by: Lee01/17/2018
Everything is fine with the part....Wish you would have sent me the tracking # like I requested after your e-mail stated it was forthcoming. We live 18 miles one way from the Post Office and don't get Mail delivered to our Address, too many wasted trips.
by: James 10/16/2021
Great product to prevent surprises when it's time to empty the black and grey tanks. It's also a backup in case one of the drain valves gets stuck open.
by: Griff05/15/2023
Excellent service!
by: Garlan03/22/2019
I ordered a Valterra 3" RV waste valve. This valve was shipped and received very fast. I haven't had a chance to install it yet. I'm sure it will do what I need it to do. It will be used on a portable dump tank.
Very good service from etrailer and I will order from them again.
by: John10/02/2018
e-trailer always gives me fast service with fair pricing. I have 2 boats, 1 RV, and a motorcycle trailer all complimented with upgrades from e-trailer.

See what our Experts say about this Valterra RV Waste Valves
- What Adhesive Is Used For Valterra RV Waste ValvesThe waste valve you came from, part # T58 is not a valve that uses glue because it is designed to attach to the RV side and the waste tube with the bayonet adapters on each side of the valve. We do have waste valves that do require gluing. I have attached a link to the waste valves we offer. You can use the filter on the page to find the correct size you need. We do offer part # T50. This has a cap with a bayonet fitting that you attach your drain hose to. The other side of the valve is...
view full answer... - Will the Valterra Extension Rod Kit # T1046-12VP Fit a Plymouth Waste ValveI am not sure if the Extension Rod Kit # T1046-12VP will be compatible with your current system but I did go out to the warehouse and measured the outside and inside diameter of the rod with a digital caliper and found those to be 0.30" and 0.20" respectively. If your current rod has these dimensions then it is possible it will work.
view full answer... - How Long is the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Part T50 From Each FittingThe Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water part # T50 measures 4-1/8" from the end of the lug fitting to the end of the hub fitting. The hub fitting is then 1-1/2" deep.
view full answer... - Can the Valterra Bladex Valve Handle With Cable Extension be Used With the Bladex Waste Valve # T50The Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank # T50 that you referenced has a handle that is attached to a tube, and the Valterra Cable with Valve Handle # TC72PB uses a cable for the extension so they are not compatible. To add an extension cable to the part # T50 you will need a whole valve body kit. You can find this part on our site listed as part # TC372. I confirmed this with my contact at Valterra.
view full answer... - T-58 Waste Valve With Bayonet ConnectionThe Valterra Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank , # T58 has a bayonet style connection. It will lock in to place from the four bayonet connections on one end and 3" Lugs on the other. Please see the attached image. If you are looking for something that accepts standard 3" plumbing pipe, the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Lug, # T50 is available. This requires an ABS solvent for installation. Please note the attached product review video.

- How To Remove An Old Waste Valve Flange Fitting To Install A New Waste Valve Hi Nicole, The only way to remove a fitting with ABS cement used on it would be to cut it off from the pipe. If there's nothing wrong with the flange then I recommend just removing the gasket that's still sticking out from it and removing the flange fitting on the new waste valve # T50 and then bolting it to the old flange fitting. Just make sure you use the new gasket from the # T50 when connecting to the old flange. I've attached a video below where I did this on a double waste valve...
view full answer... - Sewer Drain Valve and Hose Needed for Current Drain SystemSince sewage connectors do need a proper seal (typically by using solvent # A05-0303) I do recommend changing out some of your sewage pipes as they are looking a bit rough. It does look like you have a 3" round pipe from your photo so if you were to keep your current system you could possibly use a Fernco rubber sleeve to connect the Valterra Coupling # F02-2025BK to either an extension or to the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve # T50. If you need an extension you will put this waste valve...

- Are RV Sewer Drain Hoses Universal There are generally two wastewater tanks on an RV. The grey water tank which contains waste from the sinks and the black water tank which contains waste from the toilet. The grey water tank generally uses a 1-1/2" diameter tubing whereas the black water tank generally uses a 3" diameter tubing. If you measure the diameter of the waste valve that should give you a good idea of what size you need but most do follow the 3" diameter for black and 1-1/2" diameter for grey standard. In addition...
view full answer... - RV Black Water Valve for 3-Inch Bayonet FittingValterra Bladex Waste Valve # T50 is a manual black water valve that fits on a 3-inch sewer pipe and provides a 3-inch bayonet lug fitting. It can be installed using solvent cement # A05-0303. This will the accept a bayonet hose like # CAM39768. All RV black water valves and related items are shown on the linked pages.
view full answer... - Replacement 3 inch Waste Valve to Replace Bristol Waste ValveYes, the Valterra RV 3 inch Waste Valves, like part # T50, are designed to fit standard waste fittings. The part that I referenced is just the regular waste valve. If you are looking at a specific design, you can find a variety of designs on the linked product search page. You will want to make sure to use Solvent Cement, like part # A05-0303, for a complete and secure installation.
view full answer... - Availability of Valterra Waste Valve Body without Cable I do have an option for you, however the exact valve body that is included with the Valterra Waste Valve w/ Flexible Cable # TC372 you mentioned is not available as a separate part from the manufacturer. What you can use instead is the Valterra Waste Valve Body # T1003PBC. This is a very similar valve body that will work the same as what is included with the kit you mentioned. The body features a 3 inch diameter passage to allow wastewater to travel when it's open and the body, seals,...
view full answer... - Adapter Recommendation for Connecting to Bayonet Fittings of Valterra Waste Valve T50Sounds like you're possibly in need of an adapter to connect to the bayonet fittings of the # T50. The part # CAM39471 is an adapter that can swivel and has 4 different styles of fittings it can connect to. I attached a review video for this adapter for you to check out as well. Since you didn't tell me what kind of fitting you have I can't specifically say if this comes with something compatible. Or maybe you are looking for a 3 inch diameter PVC pipe to go from the waste tank to the...
view full answer... - Difference Between Valterra Bladex Waste Valves T50 and T50ASo the difference is purely in how the two connect to your sewer pipe, which will also tell you which one you need; one will slide into the pipe (the spigot) while the other will slide onto the pipe (the hub): - Slide Into Pipe: Valterra Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Spigot to 3" Lug # T50A - Slide Onto Pipe: Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Lug # T50 To secure the valves to your pipe you would just need the Valterra ABS Solvent Cement # A05-0303.
view full answer... - Are There Installation Differences Between LaSalle Bristol, Valterra, And Camco Wastewater ValvesNo they will all mount differently. For example, LaSalle Bristol Cable-Actuated RV Waste Valve - Black Water Tank - Spigot to Spigot - 96" Cable, part # 34466N4BB96GM, needs ABS solvent cement, part # 3447530889, to secure the valve to your sewer pipe. Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Lug, part # T50, also uses ABS solvent cement, part # A05-0303, but Valterra Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - Twist On - 3" Bayonet Hooks to 3" Lug, part # T58, is...
view full answer... - Replacement RV Black Water Waste Valve for 3-Inch Sewer PipeIt sounds like you're looking a for a new valve assembly for your black water tank. For a black water waste valve for a standard 3-inch diameter twist-on bayonet/lug fitting you can use Valterra part # T58. If your RV instead has a straight sewer pipe you can use the slide-on Valterra valve # T50. This item must be glued on using Valterra ABS cement # A05-0303.
view full answer... - Valterra Bladex Waste Valve Compatibility With A 55 Gallon Barrel The Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Lug Item # T50 can fit a 3.5" outside diameter pipe to connect to your 55gal barrel or if you cut a hole in the barrel and use some waterproof caulk you could attach it directly to the barrel.
