UltraHeat RV Gate Valve Heater for 3" Drain Pipe, 13.5 VDC; AM-GV30A

 Gate Valves are notorious for freezing up in cold weather, even if the Tanks and Drainage pipes are heated.

When we talk about gate valve heaters, we ask you to think about the “Spare Tire for your car or truck”. You don’t use it all the time, however when you need it, you’re glad you have it!  Gate Valve Heaters are thought of in much the same way, rarely ever used except when the valve is frozen closed and you’re trying to vacate your systems.

This is the ideal solution, designed to wrap around three sides of the gate valve and must be independently switched (available separately) from the waste system heat panels. These heat panels are designed for short term use and only in freezing cold weather where the gate valve has been frozen closed. If needed, turn the Gate Valve heater "ON” for approximately 5 to 7 minutes or until the valve is freed. Turn “off” the switch and evacuate the tanks as you normally would. This heat panel will provide the heat needed to un-freeze the glide tracks of a standard knife blade gate valve, allowing the RV'er to vacate the heated waste tanks in cold weather.
