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.
