Smile Accessing dump valve gates

I had to replace the gate valve seals and found a way to access them without having to drop the underbelly panels. Simply cut some accesses above the valves. You may have to remove the standup panel at your water connections compartment. The flooring in the belly compartment was 1/2" thick. After you cut out the plywood, place a couple of cleats across the opening at both ends to secure the removable pieces. The black felt didn't get messed up in process. The Black ABS piping is a REALLY tight fit, so I cut off 1/4" section of pipe and used a rubber coupling to reconnect the cut ends. The 1/4" cut off section will allow you to separate the gate flange from the pipe. This process you are standing up working as opposed to working under the unit with it dripping.
