Looking for recommendations for Y-valves
I am preparing to replace all the hoses (intake, discharge and vent) as well as the the Y-valves on my marine toilet installation in the head. What brands of 1-1/2 inch Y-valves currently on the market are recommended by this group and what are the pros and cons of each brand? I want to use the best available products as I do not wish to do this project again. :-) Also sourcing info would be appreciated. I welcome any and all advice. Thanks

Re: Looking for recommendations for Y-valves
I have a preference for the Raske VanderMeade 802 Y-valve (not the 804 which they will try to sell you) it mounts directly to the back of the toilet and can be installed with straight or 90 degree (or any combination) outlets. This saves a lot of space and complexity. I also prefer to use PVC where ever I can, it is cheap, easy to work with, readily available and odor free.

Re: Looking for recommendations for Y-valves
An interesting link Barry, I see a few things there I would consider buying, do they have a dealer in USA or, does one order from Holland?
