Valterra T1001VPM Bladex 1-1/2" Waste Valve Body with Metal Handle

Looks good, like original, smooth action. The fun part was installing it, due to the trailer, not the product. They must have built the tanks, etc. around the valves. First, had to open up the coroplast bottom. Then pull the 2 valves, with piping, out. One valve reinstall was no problem, plenty of play in the system. The second was so tight I could not get it in. I had to use two opposite spaced bolts and nuts to pry the flanges apart, without breaking anything. Then when I tried to get the valve and seals in, the seals would not go in without buckling. A piece of folded wax paper was used to hold the seals in place. Push in carefully, pull the wax paper out, release the nuts and keep rotating the valve to make sure the seals were in place. Finally, temporary bolts released, bolts installed properly and nuts tightened. Leak test, all is good. What should have ben a 30 minute job was a 2 hour job due to the trailer design.

Quedó exelente 👍

Product is well made and packaged with a stainless steel shaft and cast metal handle (old one was plastic), the item fitted the carpet cleaning unit waste water outlet and was secured using the supplied stainless steel bolts and nyloc nuts

Ottimo prodotto , consegna rapida come descritto

Great quality, easy to install, works great... I love the metal handle! I lubricated the handle and seals with silicone before installing to keep it from sticking and making it easy to use. A reviewer that I am so thankful for recommended leaving the valve open over a bucket over night to let all the "stuff" drain out and save you the mess of working in the "stuff". This was great advice and appreciate that so much! Some reviewers complained that you could see light through the valve without the seals in place, but this is by design and seals perfectly when the seals are installed.
