Buy a HepVo waterless trap - amzn.to/2dH6vsf (Amazon Affiliate Link)
In this video, I give you a look at a replacement for the traditional P-Trap called a HepvO valve. www.hepvo.com/
Being waterless it holds many advantages for RVers most important being less chance of waste tank odors entering the rig. It also saves space which can then be used for extra storage.
I'll show you my installation of one under my kitchen sinks. As usual with RV mods, it wasn't as straight forward an install as I hoped but I got it accomplished with a few extra plumbing adapters and elbows.
The HepvO can be purchased at www.drainmaster...

In plumbing the 1 1/2 is the inside diameter. The wall thickness is based on the schedule it is. House plumbing has the same issues. The sink uses what is called schedule 20 which is thin walled and the main pipes are schedule 40 which is a thicker wall. I deal with that conversion everyday at Lowes whee I am the plumbing pro.

We had the same problem, foul smelling sewer odor from the sink drains. Researched the culprit and found these valves. I replaced both the bathroom and kitchen sink p-traps with the Hepvo valve. Installed them a year ago, no smell since. One thing I did notice was the sinks seemed to drain faster. The wife liked getting the extra room under both sinks. Wish the manufacturers would install them to begin with.

Excellent video. It will be interesting to see how well it works. My only concern would be if food particles, greese, gunk compromise the rubber seal. If you spliced in some extra water line and routed that up your pipes that would free up a large area under your sink. Space in my camper is at such a premium, that it would be great to eliminate the p-trap. I use that space for pots and pans and it's always a jigsaw puzzle trying to fit everything around the plumbing. Keep us updated if you have any issues.

You make pretty good videos. Thanks. FYI most of the four plumbing applications, residential, marine, mobile home and RV don't interchange without adaptors. That makes it hard to do a neat, professional looking job. My mind set comes from the marine world, as such I will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid joints and connections. Every joint is a potential leak whether it water, eletricity or sewage. I bought a class C, my last boat is for sale and I'm trying to cast off from ridigid adherence to workmanship that will go to sea. I especially like your video about a permanent storage locker for the sewage hose. Thanks again.

My only problem with this device is that it DOES eliminate the P trap. If you happen to drop something small and valuable down the sink, there is a fair chance that it will stay in the P trap for recovery. With this new device installed, If you drop your wedding ring down the drain, next stop for it is the grey water tank. Just my opinion.

This would SEEM like a good idea but..., I have seen this exact same design in refrigerator drain tubes where water comes out during defrost into a drain pan below the refrigerator. We in the appliance repair industry call it a "duck bill". Over time, sticky residue builds up to a point where eventually, the thin end (the duck bill) "sticks" together and won't allow water to pass causing the water to climb up the drain tube. In a refrigerator, this turns to ice and then after a few defrost cycles, water pours out the freezer drawer. In ths application, your sink won't drain and you'll have to disconnect this contraption, remove it, and clean it. I suggest just sticking with the old tried and true p-trap.

THere is not much to it, I'm betting it will outlast the RV. hepvo.com/resources/faq/#toggle-id-9 Even so, the small expense is worth it to us to keep the galley tank odor out of the rig. The regular P trap would often lose is water seal during travel. www.fmcmagazine.com/back-issues/52-2010-back-issues/december-2010/2447-waste-management-part-1.html "Long a staple in the plumbing trade, the common P-trap has served us well for many years. However, there is a downside to this type of hardware, especially concerning motorhome P-traps, which generally are used less often than those found in commercial or residential applications. Oftentimes the water seal in a motorhome P-trap is diminished or lost altogether. The jostling that occurs while traveling, improper siphoning action during highway turns and tank evacuations, or simply drying out from nonuse can render the water seal ineffective at preventing holding tank odors from entering the living area of a motorhome. In addition, the P-trap requires diligent maintenance; frequent cleanings and freeze protection are necessary and often overlooked.

The HepvO also is an effective air-admittance device, which eliminates the need for mandated antisiphon trap vent devices (ASTVDs) at a fixture's P-trap arm.

Hello. I purchased the Hepvo valve for my travel trailer, but cannot find an adapter to go from the exit end of the Hepvo to 1-1/4 PVC pipe. I have been to Lowes, Menards, and a local plumbing store, and they are confused as well. The Hepvo says it is 1-1/2", but it is SMALLER than the 1-1/4" PVC pipe! Can you tell me what exactly you purchased and where you purchased it from to make it fit together? I know this video is 5 years old, but I am just getting started in travel trailering. This is driving me crazy!!! Thank you in advance!!

The problem is the RV doesn't use standard house pipe, but thinner walled stuff so I had a hodge podge of fittings to make it work. Recently I ended up replacing my old RV sink and plumbing with standard house 1 1/2 and that allowed me to easily find the fittings at Home Depot. www.loveyourrv.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/sink-plumbing-scaled.jpg Sink upgrade - www.loveyourrv.com/lci-flow-max-stainless-steel-rv-faucet-installation-new-sink/ Cheers, Ray

Most of the RV plumbing seemes to be borrowed/inspired from mobile homes. They use abs and lots of commission fittings cause these are built basically in a factory. They don't have qualified plumbers installing the stuff just ordinary factory workers that are probably only familiar with one make and model. The way it's done is in the quickest and simplest way possible even if it's uncommon outside the factory. Same reason they use those self contained outlets all they have to do is run wire cut a whole and punch it down vs run wire rough in a box to finished wall thickness then device out. Everything's about being quick with the lest amount of steps

Love Your RV Here's the thing Ray. Drain lines don't have to withstand the 24/7 pressure which water "supply" pvc pipes are exposed to from being under constant water pressure. So drain lines are typically "thin walled" while pipes that supply water are thicker. Those pipes are typically schedule 40 or 80 but they are "OD" so they use the same fillings. RV manufactures use what they use and are not subject to standards like homes that are inspected during their being built. RV are not subject to the same regulations and standards homes and other buildings are. So! they can cut corners where structures cannot. Same goes with Boats. Always a fan, cheers,

I took out the anti-siphon valve for the drain, there is still a vent pipe to the roof from the holding tank. See - www.rvdoctor.com/2001/01/recreation-vehicle-waste-management.html "In addition to ASTVDs, there must still be at least one vent protruding through the roof to allow sewer gases out of that holding tank; ASTVDs are not primary vents. The better-designed waste systems will have ASTVDs installed at every P-trap as well as a direct vent running from each holding tank up and through the roof. Remember though, with the advent of the HepvO waterless sanitary valve, ASTVDs are not required. With the HepvO, eliminating the ASTVD and the P-trap should result in more cubic inches of storage space under every sink."

You can see it in this update video coming off at a slanted angle below the HepVo valve - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3uZnqitnbJpgZI

They use ABS pipe in trailers because it's lighter than PVC. Nothing like an instructional video from somebody that doesn't know what they're doing.

It wasn't ABS vs PVC that was the problem. The problem was the sink drain used schedule 20 ABS but the main pipe used schedule 40 ABS. It was kindly pointed out by several commenters. Learn something new every day. Also, none of the local plumbing stores seemed to have the adapter pieces required, so it led to a cobbled together affair, but it all works, no leaks. :) Cheers Ray

You commented at 7:11 if it was on RV and Marine type plumbing was different from House plumbing, that's what I was explaining about the use of ABS but sizing is the same.

I've had the opposite experience: in there for 7 years of full-time RVing now, and no smell. The P trap smelled often, especially after a rough drive washed the liquid out of it. Maybe you got a dud or had an install issue. I remove mine and wash it out every once in a while www.loveyourrv.com/flushing-out-the-stinky-galley-kitchen-rv-waste-tank/

Yeah thats going to work for awhile eh. Itll work real good to eh. Then one day youre going to be at the drive thru at Timmy's right, and youre going to be like, hey whats that smell eh? Whats that all aboot right? And your buddy is going to be like oh you betcha, somethings smelling up the whole rig eh. Well ya got some stuff in the hole thing there right, and its holding that tube open there now, so what are you going to do aboot that eh? So ya finish your Timmy's because, you know, its Timmy's and ya cant waste that right. So after you finish your cup of coffee there, you head to the hardware store, and you rip that piece of garbage out of there right, like rip it all out eh, and put back your P trap and studor valve eh. And every year before you fucking come back down here and drive like ass holes, you can just pop a new one on in 10 mins and youre good to go for the year. No mess either. Unless you spill your Timmy's, eh..

Hi Simon, HepVo valve has been in there for almost 2 years, so much better than the P Trap which would lose its water during travel and waste tank odor would smell up the rig. Here is a video I did after it had been in there a while - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3uZnqitnbJpgZI btw, Tim's is terrible now was bought out by a big conglomerate and went way downhill. Overpriced garbage fast food and junk coffee. :( Cheers, Ray
