Black tank valve

[John R]

My black tank valve on my 2011 Cougar xlite is leaking. Does anyone have a simple plan to repair it. I have put a valve at the dump site.

You probably just need to change the seals. 3 types:
Valterra
Valterra BladeX
Bristol.

Once you determine that, get a seal kit 3” and get ready to take the valve apart. 7/16” bolts and nuts. I use axle grease to hold the new seals on the flanges as I put the valve back in. Then I rotate the valve to make sure the seals are where they need to be. After that put 2 screws in on opposite corners, operate the valve to make sure it’s all seated correctly and then put the other screws in.

Valterra Bladex can be used on both Valterra types
Bristol valve requires Bristol seals.
It will be molded on the valve which brand/style.
