The 3\" valve body fits standard RV waste lines while the 72\" stainless-style cable lets you mount the operating handle in a more convenient or protected location. The fold-flat T-handle is bulkhead-ready and the cable-actuated design reduces awkward reaches, helping you open and close the valve with more control and less mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does a cable-actuated valve improve RV dumping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA cable-actuated termination valve separates the operating handle from the valve body, so you can locate the handle where it’s easy to reach while the valve stays protected behind a compartment or down low. This reduces the need to crouch or reach into tight service bays and helps keep the valve area cleaner because you’re not constantly handling the valve itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote control with a 72\" cable for flexible handle placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFolding T-handle mounts on a bulkhead or sidewall for convenience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmoother open\/close when cable routed with gentle bends and clamps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\" valve body matches common RV black tank termination lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this kit fit my RV’s existing 3-inch waste line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe TonGass kit is built for standard 3\" termination connections commonly used on RV black tanks. It’s designed to work as a direct replacement for many OEM valves or as an upgrade when the original handle is hard to reach or damaged. Check your valve flange or termination measurements to confirm compatibility before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\" valve body sized for typical RV waste plumbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulkhead fold-down handle fits common service bay layouts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length accommodates most coach plumbing runs up to 72\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks for repairs or aftermarket upgrades; verify flange details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I route and secure the 72-inch cable for best operation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProper routing ensures reliable, low-friction operation and a long service life. Run the cable with broad, gradual curves and secure it every 18–24 inches to reduce movement and prevent binding against sharp edges.

Its shape provides good leverage for opening and closing the valve, and the folding feature keeps the handle from protruding into walkways or storage areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFolds flat to minimize interference in service bays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-handle shape gives improved grip and leverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulkhead-ready mounting hardware for quick installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable finish resists weather and road grime exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: RV owners, fleet managers, or technicians who need a reliable 3\" termination valve with remote operation for safer, cleaner black tank dumping. It’s ideal for coaches where the OEM handle is hard to reach, for retrofits that improve ergonomics, or for replacing worn valves. If you want a robust, bulkhead-mountable valve with a long cable run and a folding handle for compact storage, this TonGass kit is built for those needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the 72-inch cable long enough for my RV?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The 72\" cable suits most coach layouts; measure the distance from desired handle location to valve plus routing allowances to confirm fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I replace my old valve with this TonGass kit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—if your termination uses a 3\" valve body and the bulkhead mount aligns, this kit serves as a direct replacement or upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"TonGass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083925467294,"sku":"B0GGZT1CBW","price":87.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/tongass-3inch-valve-front-view.jpg?v=1785840326","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/tongass-3-inch-rv-waste-valve-with-72-inch-cable-cable-actuated-bulkhead-folding-t-handle","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
