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 directly overboard where legal to do so. Check local and
Federal regulations to determine 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 can be positively secured in
an onboard retention mode. The Jabsco Y- Valve accommodates this
requirement by providing the ability to add a padlock that secures
the selector handle in either direction to ensure waste is
directed to an onboard holding tank. The Y-Valve may also be used
to direct waste from a holding tank to an onboard waste discharge
pump for holding tank evacuation or, alternatively, to a waste
deck plate for removal by a shoreside pump-out facility.
The Y- Valve may also be used in a bilge pumping system to select
between two separate bilge pickups in different bilge compartments
providing for evacuation of two separate bilge areas with only one
bilge pump.
