blackwater waste valve seal question
My blackwater valve is leaking around the shaft. Replacing it seems relatively straightforward but I've never done this before and have a question about the valve seals. The seals have an inner lip...

Sorry I cannot answer your question. May I ask if you use chemicals in the tank? How old? A friend just replaced his black tank valve after less thyan one year. My rig is 20 years old and I have never had a leak nor have I ever used chemicals. Just curious
I do use "Happy Camper" tank chemical, but this RV is 4 years old and I've only had it for a couple months and I have no idea what the previous owners used. Only one of the 2 blackwater valves is leaking, the one that's right next to the tank seems fine and that one is exposed to the tank contents full time, so I don't think this is related to toilet chemicals. That other one is pretty hard to pull, so I'll probably swap that one out too after I see how this one goes.
