Camco 3" Sewer Gate Valve 4 Bayonet Prongs Camco 39050 -- RV Backup Gate Valve with Clear Extension and Cap

A leaking factory dump valve doesn't have to ruin your camping trip. The Camco 39050 installs in seconds between your existing sewer outlet and hose, giving you a fully functional backup shutoff so you can control the dump -- not the other way around. Ships complete with the clear extension and sewer cap, ready to connect out of the box.

Stop a Leaking Dump Valve Without Pulling Your Rig Off the Road

When your factory-installed black or grey tank dump valve starts to weep or won't seal completely, you have two choices: pull panels and replace the original valve (a messy, time-consuming job that may require moving the rig) or slide a backup gate valve onto the existing outlet and deal with the original valve repair on your own schedule. The Camco 39050 is that backup solution.

It threads or locks directly onto your existing 3" sewer pipe or fitting using the standard 4-bayonet-prong interface common to Valterra, Camco, and virtually all other major RV sewer termination fittings. Once seated, it adds a solid knife-gate shutoff downstream of the leaking valve so no waste reaches your hose or dump station until you're ready to release it.

3" Full-Bore Pass-Through

Matches the standard 3-inch RV sewer outlet diameter for unrestricted flow when open. No reduction in dump speed compared to factory valves.

4-Prong Bayonet Fit

Locks onto all standard 3" sewer termination fittings using the universal 4-bayonet-prong interface. No adapters needed for most RVs.

3-1/2" Clear Extension

The transparent extension section lets you see tank contents and flow -- so you know when the black tank is fully cleared before closing the valve.

Sewer Cap Included

A fitted sewer termination cap ships in the box. Cap the outlet after dumping and travel with confidence that the valve and extension are protected.

What's in the Box

  • Camco 39050 gate valve body (black) with knife-gate slide mechanism
  • 3-1/2" clear extension section
  • Sewer termination cap

Note: Sewer hose, hose fittings, and thread adapters are NOT included. The valve connects via 4-bayonet-prong push-and-turn, not threaded pipe -- no wrench required for the main connection.

How the Bayonet Connection Works

The 4-prong bayonet system is the RV industry standard for 3" sewer connections. To install, align the four prongs on the gate valve body with the slots on your existing sewer fitting, push in, and rotate a quarter turn to lock. The valve seats firmly without tools. To connect your dump hose to the clear extension outlet, use a standard 3" bayonet or threaded sewer hose fitting (sold separately).

This same interface is used by Valterra, Camco, Rhinoflex, and most other major RV sewer hose brands, so compatibility with your existing setup is very likely.

When to Use a Backup Gate Valve vs. Full Replacement

The Camco 39050 is a downstream backup solution -- it does not repair or replace the original leaking valve inside the rig. If the original valve is leaking past its seal, the backup gate valve will contain that leakage inside the extension section and prevent it from reaching your hose or campsite. However, if the original valve body is cracked or has failed structurally, a full valve replacement should be your primary goal. The 39050 buys you time and keeps the system usable while you plan that repair.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

  • Always confirm the gate slide is in the CLOSED position before connecting to a full tank to avoid unexpected discharge during installation.
  • Rinse the clear extension section with fresh water after each dump to keep the inspection window clean and visible.
  • Store with the sewer cap in place while traveling to prevent road debris from entering the extension or valve body.
  • Apply a thin coat of plumber's silicone grease to the gate seal periodically to maintain a positive shutoff and extend valve life.
  • Inspect the knife-gate gasket at the start of each season for cracking or deformation.

Good to Pair With This Valve

  • Rhino Flex or Camco sewer hoses with standard 3" bayonet fittings
  • Camco 39781 or similar 90-degree elbow fittings for tight site layouts
  • Camco translucent sewer hose caps if adding a second layer of containment
  • Latex or nitrile gloves -- always a good idea at the dump station

Important Information

  • This is a backup/downstream valve -- it does NOT replace or repair the original factory dump valve inside the RV. The leaking source valve should still be repaired or replaced as conditions allow.
  • Always close the gate valve BEFORE disconnecting your sewer hose to avoid accidental discharge at the dump station.
  • Not intended for potable water use. For sewer waste applications only.
  • Inspect the gate seal before each use. A worn or cracked gate gasket will allow seepage even when the valve appears closed.
  • Do not overtighten or force the bayonet lock -- the prongs and slots are plastic and can crack if twisted with excessive force.
  • Use with sewer hoses rated for 3" fittings only. Do not attempt to adapt to 1-1/2" or 2" hoses without a proper reducer fitting.
