The Valterra EZ Valve Electric Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Hub # E40B-8 can be installed horizontally as well as vertically without any issue. I reached out to my contact at Valterra to confirm and they absolutely can replace existing Valterra cable actuated valves. You will simply unbolt the hubs and make sure the seals are in place when you bolt the valve into your current setup. They did mention that the motor is slightly wider than the valve body, so you will need to make sure you have that space for install. I've attached a photo of the side view for you.

This kit comes with 8 feet of wire for your switch location.
