Camco Part 22243 90-Day Warranty Camco 22243 RV Freshwater Tank Dual Size Drain Valve

A simple, reliable solution for draining your RV's freshwater tank. The Camco 22243 features a dual-size outlet that accepts either 1/2" or 3/4" vinyl tubing -- so you can work with whatever hose you have on hand without hunting for adapters.

Drain Your Freshwater Tank Without the Hassle

Winterizing, seasonal storage, or just a routine freshwater flush -- getting water out of your RV's tank shouldn't require a trip to the hardware store. The Camco 22243 screws directly into the tank's drain port and gives you a barbed outlet sized to fit both 1/2" and 3/4" vinyl tubing, covering the two most common hose sizes used in RV plumbing.

The no-flange design keeps the profile compact and the installation straightforward. Made from durable plastic rated for freshwater use, this valve is a low-cost, high-reliability upgrade over a bare drain plug.

Dual Tubing Compatibility

Single barbed outlet fits standard 1/2" or 3/4" vinyl tubing -- no reducer or adapter needed for either size.

Compact No-Flange Design

Low-profile body at 3.6" x 1.5" x 5.7" fits tight tank compartments where a flanged valve won't clear.

Durable Plastic Construction

Freshwater-safe plastic resists corrosion and UV exposure, holding up through repeated seasonal use.

90-Day Limited Warranty

Camco backs this valve with a 90-day limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Typical Applications

This drain valve is designed for RV freshwater holding tanks. Common use cases include:

  • Winterizing -- fully draining the freshwater tank before adding antifreeze
  • Seasonal storage preparation and spring commissioning flushes
  • Replacing a worn or missing OEM drain plug with a controlled-flow valve
  • Gravity-draining the tank into a bucket or hose run to a dump point
Works With Standard Vinyl Tubing
Both 1/2" and 3/4" vinyl tubing are widely available at hardware and RV supply stores. The dual barb on this valve means one part covers both sizes -- useful if your tubing size varies between rigs or seasons.

Installation Overview

The 22243 threads into the existing freshwater tank drain port. Before installing, turn off any water pump and depressurize the system. Drain remaining water, apply thread sealant tape to the male threads, and hand-tighten into the port -- do not overtighten plastic fittings. Slip your vinyl tubing over the barbed end, route to a drain point, then open the valve to flow.

Heads Up -- Tubing Not Included
Vinyl tubing is sold separately. This valve ships as a single fitting only -- no hose clamps, tubing, or thread tape included. Pick up the appropriate size (1/2" or 3/4" ID vinyl tubing) and PTFE thread tape before starting the job.
Maintenance Tip
After each use, close the valve fully and inspect the threads and barb for cracks or mineral buildup. If the valve drips when closed, the seat may be worn -- replace it rather than overtightening, which can crack the plastic body.
