Valterra Waste Valve for RV Gray Water Tank Dimensions For Limited Clearance Installation
Question:
I am converting an ambulance into a camper. My spaces are limited. I will locate my gray water tank in one of the outer lockers. Can you tell me the clearance I need to install this in a tank if I have a clear opening to the outside for the drain hose? I will probably use a reducer and use a garden hose to drain. Length of valve front to back

The length of the Valterra Waste Valve front to back part # T1001C is 4-1/2" long. It measures vertically 8-3/4" with the valve open and 6-3/4" with the valve closed. I have attached a diagram for your reference so you can compare to the area that you have.
You may be interetested in the Valterra Waste Valve Body w/ Flexible Cable for RV Black Water Tank part # TC372 the flexible cable included makes it easier to use the valve when you have a hard to reach installation area.
