Waste gates leak- Valterra or thetford?

[dbj216]

Welcome to Air Forums. Valterra 3" blade valves are available over the counter at most Camping Worlds, RV dealers, or on line. They come as a "center valve assembly" and then the style of connections you might want. A "hub" allows a 3" ABS pipe to fit into it, a "spigot" allows a 3" ABS pipe to fit over it. Standard ABS glue is use to assemble the piping.

On my trailer, the valves are assembled in the drain manifold. The 3" pipe fits into the tank boss. I used a butyl sealant, slipped the ABS pipe into the tank boss, and then tightened the hose clamps. See photo.

Hope this helps a bit.
