Y-Valve
The Jabsco Y-Valve is designed to provide flexibility of onboard waste management by diverting waste either into an onboard holding tank or directly overboard where legal to do so. Check local and Federal regulations to determine where direct overboard discharge of untreated waste is permitted. No overboard discharge of untreated waste is allowed within three miles of shore.
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 an onboard waste discharge pump for holding tank evacuation or, alternatively, to a waste deck plate for removal by a shoreside pump-out facility.
The Y- Valve may also be used in a bilge pumping system to select between two separate bilge pickups in different bilge compartments providing for evacuation of two separate bilge areas with only one bilge pump.

The Jabsco Y-Valve Part 45490-1000 offers versatile solutions for onboard waste management and bilge pumping systems in marine applications. Crafted from chemical and corrosion-resistant polypropylene and stainless steel, this valve ensures durability and reliable performance in harsh marine environments. Its innovative design allows for easy rotation of ports, enabling flexible routing of discharge plumbing in parallel, at 90 degrees, or in opposite directions without the need for disassembly. This feature simplifies installation and maintenance, saving valuable time onboard. The valve includes both 1-1/2 inch ports and an additional 1 inch inlet port, allowing for adaptable connections to various piping systems. An optional shaft extension is available, enabling the valve to be mounted through bulkheads up to 1-3/4 inches thick, with only the handle exposed for operation. The self-cleaning design promotes trouble-free operation, while molded-in flow direction arrows assist in correct installation. Access to the valve is straightforward, with three sturdy mounting feet facilitating quick setup, and the top cover and diverter assembly can be easily removed by unscrewing three hex head screws for maintenance or inspection. The selector lever can be padlocked (lock not included) and sealed in either position, providing security and compliance with environmental regulations, especially in No-Discharge Zones where waste must be securely retained onboard. The Jabsco Y-Valve can divert waste either into an onboard holding tank or directly overboard where permitted, offering compliance flexibility. Additionally, it can be used in bilge pumping systems to select between two separate bilge pickups, allowing evacuation of multiple compartments with a single pump. This multi-purpose valve enhances onboard waste management and bilge pumping efficiency while maintaining ease of use and installation.
