Valterra 3" Flexible Cable Valve Kit for RVs — TC372 Black, 72" Remote Handle, Universal 3" Waste Valve

The Valterra TC372 Flexible Cable Valve Kit is a 3-inch RV waste valve with a 72-inch flexible cable and folding handle that lets you relocate the drain control to a protected, easy-to-reach spot.

Built for RVs, campers and trailers, this universal-fit cable valve kit helps you avoid messy external valve placement by moving the control into a compartment or behind a bulkhead. The kit replaces or upgrades standard 3" valves and gives installers flexibility when the factory valve location is inconvenient, exposed, or hard to access. Its folding handle and included nuts simplify bulkhead installations while the long cable provides several routing options so you can position the valve where it’s safest and most convenient.

How does this kit reduce mess and protect the valve?

By extending the valve handle with a 72" flexible cable, the actual valve body can remain inside a protected compartment away from road debris, accidental impact and weather. You operate the valve from a remote location without exposing the valve to the elements.

• 72" cable lets you place the handle inside storage bays or behind a bulkhead
• Valve body stays sheltered, reducing rock and salt damage risk
• Black finish resists visual wear and integrates with typical RV interiors

Will this replace my existing 3-inch RV waste valve?

The TC372 is designed to fit most standard 3" RV sewer openings, making it suitable for upgrades or direct replacement in many rigs. Check your current valve diameter and mounting style to confirm compatibility before installation.

• 3" valve size matches common RV septic fittings
• Universal-fit design intended for many camper and trailer systems
• Includes hardware for bulkhead installations to secure the handle

How easy is installation and use?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with RV plumbing: remove the old valve, fit the new valve body in place, feed the folding handle through the bulkhead opening, and secure the nuts supplied. Once installed, operation is a simple pull/turn of the remote handle with smooth cable action.

• Folding handle feeds through small compartment holes for neat installation
• Included nuts prevent the handle from flattening during use
• Simple mechanical operation — no power or special tools required beyond basic hand tools

Where should I place the remote handle for best access?

Choose a location that balances convenience and protection — inside a side storage bay, behind an access panel, or near your existing service center are common options. The 72" cable gives you flexibility to route around obstructions and place the handle at a comfortable reach.

• Install inside lockable compartments for theft/weather protection
• Keep handle reachable from ground level to avoid ladders
• Route away from appliances and heat sources to preserve cable life

Who is this for? The Valterra TC372 Flexible Cable Valve Kit is aimed at RV, camper and trailer owners who want a cleaner, safer waste valve setup or need to move a valve to a more convenient or protected location. It’s a practical upgrade for DIYers, RV service shops, and anyone replacing a worn 3" valve who prefers a mechanically simple, reliable solution rather than an exposed external handle.
