Black Valves

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

GREG:
Electric motors not involved as I believe the 12 volt dump valves
operate by a SYNCRO with an LED switch. An ALEN wrench is also
provide should your 12 volts be out...very easy to open or close the
valve with an ALEN wrench.......you can
call ....DRAINMASTERS.COM....... and ask them the particulars.....I
have had all three types and love the 12 volt switches.....
before, with the regular twist and pulls, it was bend over in the
cold or hot weather and hope they opened and did not break...with the
air dump valves I had before the 12 volt one now installed, I always
had to START THE MOTOR TO AIR UP BEFORE DUMPING....NOW with 12volt
DRAINMASTERS WITH THE LED SWITCH, I go outside, lift the panel, PUSH
the button and BAM...the "stuff" flows!!! The guy at the factory in
Hollister California was very helpul...at no extra charge, he added
the accessories I needed attached to the drainmasters to fit my
tanks..very nice people.........
Electric dump valve are great if u r OLD like me!!

Hank
