    • Joker valve

      • The joker valve is a small one-way valve that lets water and (other stuff) pass through it. The unique shape keeps any of that material from coming back the opposite way through the opening. They have the nickname of duckbill valve because many of them are the shape of a ducks bill.

    Once you have the unit disassembled, it is time to remove the old joker valve. In most cases, you can just pull them with your hands and remove them. In the photo above you can see that our model has a small plastic fitting inside of it that keeps it from collapsing under the pressure of the flush. You can also see in the photo above that one of th...

    Depending on your boat, this discharge line may go straight overboard. It may go to a holding tank or like in our case, go to a waste treatment unit (ElectroScan). The Electrocscanis a Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) model that treats waste for proper discharge. It is as good if not better than most municipalities in the United States. Once processe...

    When you remove the joker valve, inspect it to see if it is worn and not sealing back up. In the photo, you can see a new joker valve next to an old worn out joker valve. This valve was in use for 3 years with 2 adults and 2 children living on the boat. It has seen a pretty high volume of flushes. For what it is worth, we rarely flush paper down th...

    The assembly is actually the easiest part. Ensure you correctly install the valves. A good reminder is that the thin side should face the direction of the flow. That is about it. In our case, we have one joker valve in the black hose (pictured). The first one is on the input side of this hose where it connects to the macerator pump. The other is ri...

    In the end, this is not a difficult job, and you can almost always do it yourself to save money. Joker valves are available on Amazon but, I prefer to order these from the manufacturer. We keep a few extra on board because in more than one occasion Raritan has had them on back order, so we keep a few spares. They run about $30 or so. One last remin...
