Valterra 1.5 Inch Gate Valve (Slip / Spigot) – Dump Valve (20-1005-1)
Execute rapid, completely unrestricted waste water disposal and maintain the flawless operation of your fluid management systems with the premium Valterra 1.5 Inch Gate Valve (20-1005-1). In commercial portable carpet extractors, RV grey-water systems, and agricultural plumbing, attempting to drain thick, dirty sludge through a standard ball valve inevitably leads to severe blockages. This heavy-duty dump valve features a highly efficient sliding 'guillotine' gate. When the robust T-handle is pulled, the internal blade retracts completely, opening a massive, unobstructed 1.5-inch channel. This ensures that heavy carpet lint, mud, and grey-water drain instantly and completely, saving you massive amounts of time on the jobsite.
Achieving a permanent, leak-proof installation relies entirely on the correct connection fittings. This specific Valterra model is engineered with a highly specialized Slip / Spigot configuration. One side features a standard 'Slip' hub (designed to have a 1.5-inch PVC pipe glued directly inside it), while the opposite side is a 'Spigot' (designed to slide inside another 1.5-inch Slip fitting or connect to a flexible rubber cuff). Manufactured from ultra-durable ABS plastic and featuring heavily lubricated internal rubber seals to prevent dirty water drips, this authentic valve replacement kit guarantees years of smooth, reliable operation for professional carpet cleaners and RV mechanics.
