Rotating Hub, Black, Repairable Seals","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValterra T38 is a fixed wye double valve assembly that combines your RV black and grey tank outlets into a single, leak-resistant dump connection for faster, cleaner emptying.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compact valve assembly fits standard 3\" bayonet and hub plumbing to let you use one sewer hose for both the black and grey tanks. Built with ABS bodies, steel shafts and polypropylene paddles, the T38 focuses on durability and serviceability: both gate valves are repairable via removable bolts and replaceable seals so you can swap worn parts without cutting plumbing. The 1-1\/2\" hub rotates for easier handle access, and the black\/grey handles are clearly marked so you always know which gate you’re operating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the T38 make dumping an RV sewer system easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T38 allows you to join black and grey tank drains into a single outlet so you only need one sewer hose. Dump the black tank first, then open the grey tank to rinse the hose and reduce residue buildup, simplifying the process and cutting cleanup time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombines two drains into one 3\" bayonet outlet for one-hose operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor-coded handles indicate black versus grey tank control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRotating 1-1\/2\" hub provides better access in tight compartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePaddle design and seal gaskets reduce the chance of leaks during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and construction ensure durability and serviceability?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe assembly uses ABS for the wye, cap, and valve bodies plus polypropylene paddles and steel shafts for strength.
