Replacing Dump Valves on Your RV

Most RVs outfitted with water access have greywater tanks and valves for sinks and showers and blackwater tanks and valves for toilets. Cleaning out both tanks is an important part of routine maintenance on an RV, and over time the valves to both water systems can get worn out and pretty nasty.

In this premium video lesson, RV repair and maintenance expert Dave Solberg walks you through a step-by-step demonstration of clearing out and replacing greywater and blackwater dump valves on your rig. He shows you how to empty the tanks and let them dry overnight before removing them for replacement. Once the tubes are ready to mount the new valves, Dave explains the best process for installing valves to minimize drips, leakage and foul odors.
