the pump-out outlet (the top outlet.) The visible arrows should now be showing the flow
to be going downward. Next press down the macerator switch on the panel. This will
push the contents in the holding tank out the bottom of the boat through the waste
discharge thru hull. Once the process is complete it is advisable to close the discharge
valve and put the Y- valve handle back into the pump-out position (with the wide
portion covering the down arrow).
The Jabsco Y-Valve is designed to provide flexibility of onboard waste management by
diverting waste either to the dockside pump-out fitting or directly overboard where legal
to do so. Check local and federal regulations to determine where direct overboard
discharge of untreated waste is permitted.
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 a waste deck plate for removal by a dockside pump-out facility.
