Whats the part number for that master valve?

Pat,
Can you post a picture of this valve? And maybe provide some additional details about the valve, like manufacturer, any part numbers, other specs. Maybe somebody on the list will have an alternative????? Just thinking out loud.

That is pretty good that that valve made it 18 years with all of the road salt thrown at it for that many years. I just sold a 2002 TS that had, two ride height valves, one front , one rear, replaced and that was just part of it showing it's age. The air system probably took more maintenance at that age than anything else on the MH. The buyer called me and the dump valve went out when he got home, would not close to air up.

Hi Ya'll,
The master dump valve on my coach is made by Norgren. It's off of a Spartan chassis, and the Spartan part # is 0791-mm5. It's $615 from their website- https://www.rvchassisparts.com:8443/...is/runApp?id=5

I've attached (I hope), a picture of the Norgren valve. You can see the wire just hanging, as there's no post left.
I'm gonna have all the leveling valves replaced while they're doin' it. Hopefully, this week. Any more questions, just ask me.
Thanks Drew,
Thanks everyone.

The two picture's are great, where exactly is this valve located on your chassis.

Thanks John H

They couldn't find the original replacement parts, but they do have universal ones which they think will fit.
As far as the jacks there is a wire that goes onto the master dump valve which is disconnected, because the connector end on the master dump valve is corroded off. Nothing to hook it to. A new master dump valve is $615 plus shipping! Quite a bit for a disconnected wire! I find it difficult to believe that a coach that had a list price of $250,000 new, would have wiring like an old erector set motor!
I have an appt next week for the leaking valves to be replaced, and I'm gonna take my electric solder gun and try to solder the wire to the master dump valve where the post WAS, and cover it with blue glue, or silicone, before I shell out the bucks for a new valve, since the old valve itself works just fine. Any ideas on this part of my homemade repair would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your question! Happy RVing!

Pull that valve off and take it to a electronics repair shop or a cv radio repair shop and haveva wire soldered on it.they have the good solder irons that won't melt into the plastic body. Then I'd install a weathertite connector on the wire end and another on the chassis wire.this will give you a water tight wire connection. Where the new wire is soldered I'd coat all that in a clear epoxy resin for weather protection.I'd bet it would last you another 18 years. Probably cost you 20 bucks.
