ThetfordPart 94230Made in USAThetford 94230 Winterizing Diverter Valve -- Protect Your RV Plumbing Every Fall

Winterizing an RV freshwater system is far easier with the right inline diverter valve. The Thetford 94230 lets you switch your water pump's inlet between your normal freshwater supply and a jug of RV antifreeze -- no need to disconnect hoses, no improvised fittings, no mess. One lever movement redirects flow so antifreeze is drawn through the pump and distributed throughout the plumbing lines, protecting every line, valve, and fixture from freeze damage.

Simple, Reliable Winterization for Any RV or Camper

The 94230 installs inline on the inlet side of your freshwater pump. During camping season, the handle points toward your normal water source and the valve is completely out of the way. When it's time to winterize, you flip the handle, drop the pickup tube into a bottle of RV antifreeze, and run your pump -- antifreeze reaches every faucet, toilet, and water line in your rig without disassembling a single fitting.

This valve is manufactured for Thetford by B&B Molders (B&B part number 601-008-94230) and carries a Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty. Factory leak testing ensures zero leakage before the valve ever ships.

One-Lever Operation

The clearly identified operating handle makes switching between freshwater and antifreeze fast and intuitive -- no tools required at the valve itself.

Factory Leak Tested

Every unit is pressure tested at the factory before shipment, so you can trust a leak-free installation from day one.

Made in the USA

Manufactured domestically to Thetford quality standards, with materials suited for potable-water and antifreeze compatibility.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Backed by Thetford's Limited Lifetime Manufacturer Warranty for long-term peace of mind on a component you'll use every season.

How It Works in Your Winterization Process

The diverter valve installs on the suction side of your 12V water pump. Most RV freshwater pumps use standard 1/2-inch barb or threaded inlet fittings -- the 94230 is designed to fit into this line with minimal modification. Once installed, your annual winterization routine becomes:

  • Turn the handle to the antifreeze position.
  • Place the pickup tube into a gallon of RV-rated antifreeze (pink, non-toxic).
  • Turn on the pump and open each faucet, fixture, and valve until pink antifreeze runs through.
  • Turn everything off. Your system is protected.

In spring, flip the handle back to the freshwater position, flush the lines thoroughly, and you're ready to camp.

Permanent Installation -- Seasonal Convenience
Install this valve once and leave it in place year-round. There is no need to replumb or disturb other fittings each fall. The handle is the only thing you touch from season to season.
Correct Pump-Side Placement
This valve installs on the INLET (suction) side of your water pump -- not the outlet. Placing it on the outlet side will not allow the pump to draw antifreeze from an external source. Refer to your pump's inlet port when planning your installation.
Use RV-Rated Non-Toxic Antifreeze Only
Always use pink, propylene glycol-based RV antifreeze in your freshwater system. Never use automotive antifreeze, which is toxic and will contaminate lines and fixtures.
Seasonal Maintenance Tip
Each spring, after flushing antifreeze from the system, cycle the diverter valve handle a few times to keep the mechanism from stiffening during the off-season. A light application of silicone lubricant on the handle pivot is acceptable if movement feels stiff.

Important Information
  • Install on the INLET (suction) side of the water pump only -- outlet installation will not allow the pump to draw from an external antifreeze source.
  • Use only non-toxic RV-grade antifreeze (pink, propylene glycol-based). Automotive antifreeze is toxic and must never be used in potable water systems.
  • This valve is sold as a single unit. Fittings, hose, antifreeze pickup tube, and antifreeze are not included.
  • Weight: 1 lb. Ensure the valve and its hose connections are properly supported to avoid stress on pump inlet fittings.
  • Verify inlet fitting compatibility with your specific pump before installation.
