Thanks for the picture Ron. I knew what a unistrut was but I was not clear on what you used to get the proper mounting spacing. Did you fabricate the bracket, that is mounted to the frame/floor pan? It looks like there are only mounting bolts on the one end ??

Thanks again, Vern

Ron,

Does the manual valve need to be mounted at an angle? Looks like in the pic that it is up at a slight angle. You did a nice job on the fix for the drain. Thinking this is probably something that I am going to need to do.
Also, can you use standard 3" black elbows and couplers on the drain?

Thanks,

First of all, the unistrut can be purchased at any electrical supply along with the clamp. I just trimed one end so that it would lay sideways and used 1/4" zip screws into the frame, then zip screwed the second piece to the frame mounted piece pointing it downward, then secured with conduit clamp. Two short pieces was the right spacing between frame and 3 inch pipe. The 3 inch black piping is just standard schedule 40 pvc and purchased fittings at our rv dealer. The 3 inch manual valve could be mounted in any position, but just placed it in that position for easy access. It really don't matter if the grey or black water valves hold because the manual will take care of it. I really got tired of sudden surprises.

I understand how you did it now. It did not dawn on me that the top part was a piece of unistrut on it's side because of the way you trimmed it. That is going to my next mod. Thanks Ron.

Later, Vern

Thanks for your help Ron. Something else I need to do in the near future.
Have not had a problem yet with the valves not holding, but am sure that'll be next.......lol
