In addition, the new valve system provides swiveling attachment points to prevent strain at the water line connections. It also features Teflon seals to prevent leaks while ensuring a lifetime of reliable service. The valve’s construction is all brass on the back of the housing panel. Fortunately, they built a much better solution!Īnderson Brass Company has developed a new valve, MANRV101RF, that reduces future valve failures. Anderson provided a replacement core if the valve failed. In the past, many RV owners have called Anderson Brass Company to seek guidance and instruction to fix a leaky valve. The plastic valve was prone to failure, especially if the knob rotated while under pressure. However, it was difficult to read which position the knob was actually in. It also had four positions for different uses. The valve had a plastic core that relied on several rubber O-rings to maintain pressure and function properly. It clicked and locked into each position as we rotated the knob. The Anderson valve we replaced was the #200RV, which had a plastic body with a rotating knob. There is also a Normal option for when we need to use the RV’s on-board water pump. We turn it to Winterize when we pump anti-freeze into our RV’s water system at the end of the season. We turn it to Fill when we are adding freshwater to our RV’s on-board water tank. For example, we turn it to City when we’re in a campground with a water hookup. The Anderson Valve System has a knob in the UDC that rotates to allow us to select how to provide water to our coach. Originally, our 2016 Heartland Landmark 365 came equipped with a plastic Anderson valve, which was prone to leaking. So we decided to test a better-engineered brass valve. The existing plastic Anderson Valve System in our fifth wheel’s utility distribution center (UDC) needed replacing. Recently, we were provided the opportunity to work with Anderson Brass Company. ![]()
