Based on these pictures of a 2017 17B you are in the clear. This user did some heat tape and insulation for winter camping. You can see that both valves are pulled outward from and toward the side of...

I debated doing something to support the pipe at the conclusion of my install. I didn't because the stock pipe strap had been broken for awhile and there was no issue and my installation is stronger...

Pat: Perfect execution. Glad I could help. I never thought I would say this to someone but I hope you think of me every time you pull your waste valves! :laugh:

Pat: Looking fantastic. I see you now used a 45 street elbow off the 90. Good move. The flex coupler is positioned nicely too. :thumb:

Tom: Pat is using a T80. I know because I shipped it to them when I switched to the T84 instead of back to Amazon.

Pat: I would lay it out exactly as Ron did using the long radius 90 if you can. The only difference is I would put the flex connector in the long section of pipe to allow you some forgiveness in...

Ok Pat here’s the deal. You are going to want to get as far forward as possible with the 3” black connection. Leave just enough 3” pipe to fit into the collar of the T80. I would glue this in place....

Finally have both dump valves facing forward

Well the weather broke a little bit here in NJ and I finally got to the dump valve mod. Wish I was working on the south side of the trailer though. Of course the way it was situated I was in the...

ATHiker if you are serious about using the T80 I have one in the garage that I won’t be using since Tom convinced me to use the T84. If you want to cover shipping...

Yes, but with the T84 he has to deal with a 3" gray tank fitting. Since he has underfloor foam he will need to upsize the line all the way back to the gray tank fitting which may be a real pain. He...

Tom: For clarification doesn't the trailer start out stock with a heel fitting on the gray water which would make it at T68?

I'm hoping I have room for a long radius sanitary tee, but I'll need to see how much room I have to work with and how things align. If I cannot get a straight shot up into the tank then it is not...

Thanks Tom. I shouldn’t have to deal with the black pipe slope since it is a 19. My arrangement should be identical or very close to Ron’s. I will try to move the assembly forward so the new unit is...

Thanks. Wish I saw this sooner. Amazon box just arrived. I think I will return and follow your lead. Besides the faster draining I like the idea that both valves are the same size. This allows you to...

The one minor disadvantage of this mod that I see is that you eliminate the straight shot into the gray tank that existed (at least on older trailers). The straight shot allows water from a hose to...

I have not worked on one exactly like Jim posted, but there is typically a small lip on the adjoining faces with seals that keep the valve in place. The assembly needs to be spread apart a bit to...
