RV Fresh Water Tank Drain Valve Options
Question:
I have a plastic 20 gallon water tank in my rv. I’d like to install a drain in it however I do not have access to the inside of the tank. Do you sell anything that might work?

Expert Reply:
While we do have drain valves for your RV's fresh water tank, you do need to have access to the tank in order to install them; unfortunately there isn't an option for a valve that can be installed without some type of access. If you can find a way to do so, there are two options, depending on your tank's outlet fittings:
- 3/8" or 1/2" Barb: Valterra Universal Barbed Drain Valve for RVs # A01-2025VP
- 3/8" and 1/2" MPT (threaded): Valterra Universal Threaded Drain Valve for RVs # A01-2026BKVP with Valterra PTFE Thread Seal Tape # A05-0265
