Title: Dump valve replacement
Post by: Rick on December 13, 2011, 06:04:10 pm
Does anyone know if the original dump valves (Theford, I think) can be directly replaces with the Valtera valves? Are the bolt patterns and the thickness the same? I wanted to buy the valves before I take it all apart so I only have to take it apart once. The Valtera that I added as a third valve is 3 3/4" bolt pattern and 13/16" thick
Thank you,
Rick

I am pretty sure that the thetford dump valves are quite different from the valterra valves. the thetford valves I am familar with are held together with phillips screws and when taken apart there is a large gasket that goes between the two halves and a new seal for the blade

Red Tractor,
                    I pulled the panel yesterday to look at the valves and they are Valtera valves. Easy replacement.
