Black Valves

[Gregory OConnor]

Hank I think electric valves are the ticket because most times when
I dump I have no air to open or close the valve so I do it manualy
or have to plan dumping. I just wonder what would happen to the
electric motors if the valve's gate encounters an obstacle of a high
fiber nature? would the motor stop or continue and damage the gate/
seal and motor?? and the other question is if the electric motor
fails can you manualy dump?
