An RV with separate 1½-inch and 3-inch waste drains may be serviced by Valterra's dual cable-valve kits. Each kit supplies two valves and two separate 72-inch push-pull controls, allowing each waste line to be operated from its own accessible handle location.

What the diagram letters identify
These letters correspond to the actual Valterra connection illustration rather than being substitute part numbers.
| Label | Component | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| C | Red positioning tab | Keeps the handle in its setup position until the cable is attached |
| D | Exposed inner control wire | Transmits the handle movement to the gate coupler |
| E | Flexible cable housing | Guides the inner wire from remote handle to the valve |
| F | Coupler and Allen set screw | Connects the inner wire to the gate shaft |
| G | Collar screws | Secure the cable housing at the valve body |
| H | Handle mounting locknut | Retains the cable handle at the chosen mounting panel |
| I | Collar entry hole | Receives the cable housing at the valve |
Valterra's cable layout diagram shows a straight six-inch exit at the valve and handle and a minimum 24-inch diameter for a 180-degree cable bend. On the illustrated adjustable-wire arrangement, the short exposed wire is 3⅛ inches at the 1½-inch valve and 4⅜ inches at the 3-inch valve. Plan two independent routes rather than looping cable between valves.
Choose the correct valve or replacement body
TC1372 includes stainless-steel inner-wire cables. TC1372CN uses high-density polymer cables. Confirm both existing waste valve sizes and connection arrangements: the combined kit is not a single valve with a dual-diameter adaptor, and one handle does not open both valves.
| Valterra part | Valve size | What's different |
|---|---|---|
| TC1372 | One 1½-inch + one 3-inch | Two separate 72-inch stainless-inner-wire cable handles |
| TC1372CN | One 1½-inch + one 3-inch | Two separate 72-inch high-density polymer cable handles |
| TC172 | One 1½-inch valve | Single 72-inch stainless-wire cable kit, not the dual kit |
| TC372 | One 3-inch valve | Single 72-inch stainless-wire cable kit, not the dual kit |
