Plumbing Systems
Drain Pipes With Dry Sealing Valve
Your RV may be equipped with a dry sealing valve that pre-
vents the escape of odors from your waste system and
eliminates the need for P-traps. Should the RV drain piping
system become clogged and a mechanical cleanout tool is
used to open the drain pipe, it is important that the dry valve
be removed before passing the cleanout tool through the
piping. Passing a mechanical cleanout tool through the wa-
terless valve may cause damage to the internal seal that may
potentially allow sewer gases to escape to the RV interior
Drain Pipes With P-Traps
The drain pipes may be equipped with a P-trap installed to
help prevent odors from escaping into the RV. During travel,
water from the P-traps may spill and permit odors into the RV.
By adding water and using a RV approved deodorizing agent
you will dissolve the contents faster and will keep the drain
lines and tanks clean and free flowing. These chemicals are
available at an RV supply store or your dealer.
Vents & Vent Pipes
Another important part of this system is the vent pipes and
vents that release air from the grey and black water hold-
ing tanks. The exterior vent cap is attached to the roof and
must be kept clear of obstructions to perform as intended.
On some models, the vent pipe may be part of the drainage
system referred to as a wet vent (water flows downward as air
flows upward in the same pipe).
Remove the waterless trap
before using mechanical
drain cleaning devices.
Waterless trap can be
damaged.
