  • Electric Dump Valves

    Posted by Tim on February 14, 2016 at 3:23 pm

    If one of the motors fails on an electric dump valve, can you unhook the wires and manually dump the valve until you can replace the motor?

    No problems right now, but I can see the day where one or both of my dump valve electric motors will fail.

    Remove the nut on top the valve and you can dump manually. I recently replaced mine because the knife valve started leaking.

    An FYI on that motor. The new motor has a 6 or 7 wire clip going to a 4 wire clip.

    If you don’t connect it correctly it will only operate one way. It can go from easy to a PIA real quick.
