Drain pipe from black and grey - Bob Lawrence - 02-17-2009 03:39 Hi group, I have had a leak for a while now in my drain pipes. Let me see if I can explain it right. My black and grey tanks go into a 4" abs pipe. Somebody in the past put a pipe in the 4" pipe and glued it in. Coming out of that they put a rubber collar and covers it and also goes over the end of the Drain Master dump valve. Sucker has leaked for a couple of months now at the glued in 3/1/2" pipe fitting with the rubber collar. I can't find pipe that is 3 1/2" id to go into the piece of pipe that was glued into the 4" standard pipe of the bird. My question is...do other people have a rubber collar going to their dump valve? Was this some one off job for some unknown reason? Drain drip has to go. Any ideas? Bob Lawrence 84 PT36 Los Fresnos, Texas Drain pipe from black and grey - Fred Hulse - 02-17-2009 07:17 Hi Bob
I have a rubber collar on the gray side of my dump system prior to going into the Y or T to which I hook the hose up to.
It has been there about 4 years now.

There is probably only an inch or two space between the ends of the abs pipes but having the rubber coupling in the line lets you get the entire valve assembly out. Hope you have having fun in Texas.

My problem with the rubber coupling is that over time it gets loose. Twisting a sewer hose on and off and putting the cap on twisting has caused the rubber to distort. I guess that was the way the factory did things. Gonna have to update that area. Thanks Marv.

Found I could get a 4" ID pipe that will slip over the bird pipe with just a little sandpapering of the outer edge of the bird pipe. Since I switched to Drain Master a few years ago, I can glue the new pipe to the bird and the backside of the Drain Master. When having to replace the Drain Master, the part on the back can stay attached to the new pipe. No more leaks (maybe me, tho ![]() Bob Lawrence 84 PT36 Workcamping at Laguna Atascosta NWR, Texas > Hi Bob > I have a rubber collar on the gray side of my dump system prior to going into the Y or T to which I hook the hose up to. > It has been there about 4 years now. > Fred & Jeanne Hulse > Morristown Arizona > 1997 Wanderlodge WLWB41 > |
