question on cable pull tank valve drains
We are getting ready to go pick up our new GD Imagine TT next week. Our current and previous TT's had / have exposed valves where you just pull a handle, pretty simple. This new TT has the valve...

I solved my remote cable pull problem by putting a manual straight pull at the last part of the dump tube. If a valve fails to close properly or leak this valve will hold back the contents till I dump. Been working great, super easy and inexpensive to install on the 3" tube.
The remote valves are up under the enclosed belly and a pain to get at to change over to manual.
Sorry don't have any except maybe the final product.
Probably one of the easiest mods to do. Simply cut off the section of pipe that contains the pipe cap and collar with a hack saw and then prepare the 3" pipe to receive the new dump valve. You have to have at least around 3" of pipe to mount the new valve on. Prepare the area by cleaning it with in my case a couple quick shots of brake cleaner then a wipe off with a wet cloth. Use the appropriate ABS solvent/glue for black pipe, coat both pieces according to the instruction, mate the two pieces making sure you have it orientated the way you want and then let cure. Done.
Valtera also makes one that just mounts up to the cap collar if you do not want something permanent but I think permanent is the WAY to go.
