Re: Update on Valterra 3rd valve installation Reply #27 – November 29, 2016, 08:57:33 pm The previous owner on my RV installed a PVC ball valve, I believe it is 3 inch. I actually like it better than the gate valves. I think it is more robust, and less chance of build up. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Update on Valterra 3rd valve installation Reply #33 – December 15, 2016, 08:29:03 am If I were to install the ball valve, I'd probably do threaded, so it could be replaced (unlikely, though). The person the previous owner hired to do it just cut the PVC and glued the valve in between. Quote Selected

Handle would hit the floor on mine, or would stick out too far. Quote Selected
