Y-Valve
The Jabsco Y-Valve is designed to provide flexibility of onboard waste management by diverting waste either into an onboard holding tank or immediately overboard where legal to take action. Check local and Federal regulations to decide where direct overboard discharge of untreated waste is permitted. No overboard discharge of untreated waste is allowed within three miles of shore.
Some near shore areas and inland areas are designated as “No-Discharge Zones” where the discharge of any onboard waste, even treated waste is strictly prohibited. Many of these areas require a waste retention system that may be positively secured in an onboard retention mode. The Jabsco Y- Valve comprises this requirement by providing the ability to add a padlock that secures the selector maintain in either direction to make sure waste is directed to an onboard holding tank. The Y-Valve can also be used to direct waste from a holding tank to an onboard waste discharge pump for holding tank evacuation or, on the other hand, to a waste deck plate for removal by a shoreside pump-out facility.
The Y- Valve can also be used in a bilge pumping system to make a choice between two separate bilge pickups in different bilge compartments providing for evacuation of two separate bilge areas with only one bilge pump.
