EXACTLY!
And your 'Buddy' needs to find a different dealer :S
.
"Dump" that dealer for sure!! - Blind leading the blind..:S
OK - Understandable for the "newbie" owner.
(Of course, wonder how many times the OP has dumped *his* tanks!)
It's often stated, but this brings new meaning to "clueless" sales people..:R
This thread should be bookmarked for future reference - to illustrate just how *ignorant* a dealer (or salesperson) can be !!
*******************************************************
OP - Suggest you and your buddy drop by *any* RV supply and look at a Valterra (or other brand) black or gray valve.
And/or Google it for lots of pics by suppliers (like Amazon) - which should be self-explanatory.
Whether they are direct (with a pull handle, valve visible in the 3" line), or remotely operated by a cable ("no box, the arm slides into the chassis") or electric......the valve body -and operation- is the same.
.
Thanks.. I've only dumped mine a few times.. I have only seen the setup on MY FW. I was asking do they ALL do it the same way.. (the answer is Yes)
I can't see any operation on my FW, as the handle just slides into the chassis rail, and the internals are hidden. It could easily have worked the other way..
I 'guess' it makes sense to 'pull' to open, if there was something resting on the valve blade. I never researched it, as I didn't need to know, it just worked. And I didn't 'google' for the answer before asking here.
I told my buddy the right answer, but was just checking to see if I gave the right answer. All the material I read before and after getting my FW never said push or pull, maybe cause mine was 'closed'.
anyhow, thanks for the info.
