DRAIMASTER FLUSH VALVES INSTALLED..........IT WAS EASY & FUN!

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

One I got all the ABS fittings...it was a fun job....If I change my
SP36 from brand "X" air valves to drainmasters, I will use the white
stuff ..PVC........if ABS is only available in the RV shop as it was
here in Florida and I paid thru the nose!!!!!
Acouple points.....

1. The tank is connected with a "screw in piece"...it was easy to
unscrew and put in a new one. Make sure you screw the new one all
the way in after you get the drainmaster on for leverage and put
liquid pipe dope on the connector.
2. Dan at the drainmaster factory preconnected my Drainmasters with
proper fittings so I just had to glue them to the "screw in"
connectors.....no labor charge.......
3. Fitting the rest of the pipes was just a "copy cat" job.
4. I ran a new 12 volt wire from the battery.
5. I bought the expensive "LED" switches which are well worth the
money.
6. I installed switches in the compartment with the "boiler"
chargers near the air supply hose.
7. The drainmasters are made of tuff plastic and well
built...not "fragile" and are so much easier than the "brand "X"
valves. Also, lame sure you buy the expensive LED switch and extra
connection wire.
8. A couple years ago, I put in new Dupree Air valves in my 90SP36.
The problem is that I have to start the engine to build up the air
before I can dump! When I get to vegas, those "buggywhips" are
comming off and I am going to put the draimasters on!
Now for the BEST part;
THE PRICE:
At Camping World, they wanted $108 each with the cheap switch and no
connectors on each side of the drainmaster to connect to the "easy"
screw ins.
sooooooooo, that is $216 BEFORE anything else, extra connecting
wires, LED switches, parts connected and sealed for me, AND
shipping..
WELL..for the whole lot, I paid $180.24 including shipping, 2 day
air.

Heck of a deal.

I am very happy with the Drainmasters and highly recommend them and
am NOT in business!!!, just a vagabond Attorney seeing the world.
Even an Attorney can put these in!
The best part.........BAM!.......push a button and...BAM!!!

love it!!!

No more crawling, bending, pulling, wondering if the lever will
break etc.

Better close now.

---the correct email is........w.drainmaster.com.......I left out
the N before...ALSO..the phone is (831) 636-9775
A guy named DAN was very helpful, he suggested that he connect the
seals and connecting parts to the drainmaster for me so all I had to
do was glue them on to the other pipes..It helped and he did not
charge me any labor, just $3 or less for each connector whereas
Camping World wanted 3 times as much for the connector!!
The Drainmasters are tucked up between the tanks in a vertical
position as recommended in the instructions. Plenty of room for
them in my 80FC31.
The more expensive LED swithches are a MUST!!!!
The connectors snap together..I had to buy two 4ft extension cables
at $3.30 each..They are great...snapping together. I black rubber
tapped the connectors and where the switches stuck out from the box
next to the air hose conecctor, I blasted them with a massive dose
of clear silicon...about a cup full!!!!
PRICE SHEET:
5268 S-DMMS-S 2 @ $55.90 each
HD-DM30-LED-0 2@ $17.99 each
HD Switchplate (5530) SPOO-89 2@ NO CHARGE
5525 Ext. Cable 4ft 2@ $3.30
UPS Charges from California to FLorida $25.86
TOTAL COSTS FOR THE LOT.....
$180.24

It all looks good and I am happy.
I just love these birds!!
Unless someone slams the money on me within the next month, I will
just store this little ole 80FC31 next to my big bird(SP36) in VEGAS
and head off to Australia for Six months...heck..why not...people
have two houses...why not two BIRDS!!!
LOL

There are a number of diverse views on which are better for drain
lines PVC vs ABS (foam core) pipes and fittings. It appears the
consensus is that ABS is a little more impact resistant and stands
up a little better to freezing with "some" water in it as it can
flex a bit. In addition, PVC is very susceptible to sunlight UV
damage and can get brittle quite quickly when exposed as on and FC.
When I changed to Drainmaster valves, I used the ABS for these
reasons.
