Another Valtera Twist On Valve Customer

[Fivecodys]

Like everyone else,
I was getting the yucky juice when removing the dump cap.
I took the advice of many on this forum and added the Valtera Twist On Valve.
Problem was every place I looked was out of them except 'Walmart.com'.
It is now in place and no more nastiness.



Thank you to all who commented on this fix earlier. You're a great resource!

I did easy fix to Valterra T58 Twist On valve to prevent if from coming loose when removing sewer hose. Drilled a 1/8 hole at top where it connects to camper valve and took very short screw and ran it through Valera valve and camper connection. Now to remove Valtera valve you simply remove screw if it every needs to be replaced.

Putting on Valterra T58 valve has saved me on several occasions when I didn't have everything connected correctly.

Use one on your Thetford dump tank to prevent mess at dump station. When I get elbow into dump station trap I open Valtera gate valve - no more mess at dump station. Wish Thetford had gate valve like the Barker dump tanks.

I also use the Valterra valve and I use duct tape to keep it from falling off when removing the sewer hose. So far its worked fine.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to do this today. Love the valve but sure is a sloppy fit.

FYI. If you start having electrical issues, take your right angle adapter off. I have seen two go bad and leave the owner scratching his head not being able to find the problem. I'm not trying to say they're bad and don't use them. I'm saying people just don't think about those when/if electrical problems pop up.

ON Edit. You have an 50 to 30 adapter which may or may not be a right angle adapter. Another PSA. When hooking a 50 amp coach to 30 amp service it's easy to draw enough amps to start melting the plug at the pedestal. I choose to plug the pig tail into the pedestal in case this happens and not damage a more expensive 30' extension cord. I do realize some people prefer to work with the lighter 30 amp cord versus the heavier 50 when not using the AC (s).

Just facing the valve the other direction will assist in keeping it on. Gravity can be a wonderful thing!

Edit: of course that was specific to the orientation in the picture

X2 on the little screw mod to hold it on.

I do have mine in the opposite orientation but still doesn't seem secure. We are boondockers and do some dirt roading. I'd hate to loose it. 1 small screw coming right up this afternoon.

Silicone II works well for keeping it on semi-permanently.

Good eye.
Here at the house (where my trailer is stored) I only have 30 amp service for the trailer to plug into.
The adapter/cord you see is only used for charging the batteries or turning on a few lights while we load or unload.
We do not keep the trailer plugged in all the time.
Thank you for your concern though. I appreciate it.
