The Sewer Valve

Well, one of the disadvantages of a hidden sewer valve is having to replace said valve. So much fun. Oh did I mention that the tank is full and the valve is broken internally in the closed position? Good times...
  • You might also drill out the slide end (if you can get to it) and put a self tapping screw in it and pull it open with a plyers?

    Good luck man.
  • My plan is to hopefully have the local septic truck come to the partially disambled trailer and put a 2 inch hose down the toilet and suck it out so I can replace the valve. Going to add a black tank flush kit while its apart. Thats the "plan" anyway.
  • Yea, I took the covering off underneath. I can actuate the control rod but it must be detatchwd from the gate. (Cable remote type valve)
  • are ya sure ya didnt just un screw the stem out of the valve gate?
