I want to re-do my drain pipe and dump valve for the kitchen grey water tank.

Attached is a picture of the current setup. To drain the tank, I have to get down under the slide to reach the handle.

I want to just move the dump valve down just before the junction, making it more accessible. The pipe appears to be 2" OD. Can I use regular PVC pipe or where can I get this black pipe and a few fittings?

Thanks in advance!!

If you leave some of the pipe on each side of the valve you can reuse the valve by putting a coupling on each side of it.

They make a transition glue that you can go from ABS to PVC. I found it at Lowes.

You can get a cable to put on the waste valve handle.

ABS and PVC pipe are the same size dimensionally and can be used together in any combination. You will need to use universal cement to glue them together.

Your good to go, I was just wondering what those two 2x10's were for? Did it come stock that way or are my eyes playing tricks on me

What you propose is exactly what they did on mine plus, you get a little bit more capacity (maybe 1/2 gal).
