Asco Red-Hat Diverter Value Issues
« on: February 02, 2025, 10:29:21 PM »
The water pump when turned on runs continuously.  From reviewing the posts on the topic it would seem the diverter valve is stuck open. The part number is 8210G94.

I'm getting a little confused in searching for a replacement.  Should I be getting one that is 12 volt, 24 volt or 110/120 volt and should it be normally open or normally closed?

The names of any suggested suppliers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

This is the valve I purchased.  It does have three wires but I used only two.  The other wire I bent back and taped off.  I do not know the function of the third wire.  My guess is it may be for an automatic closure when the fresh water tank is filled but our coach never had that function as long as we have owned it.

I like this ball valve because it can be heard when opening and closing, so I know it's doing its job when I press the switch to open and close it.

Thanks David,

I've ordered the 3 wire.  My coach has the auto shut off when full and the asco valve is 3 wire.  I'll let you know how it works.

It sounds like a solid solution.  Nice to find one at 15% of what I am seeing the Asco valve go for.

I believe the auto shutoff is a function of the Aladdin tank level module, also controls asco valve

Our coach has an Aladdin system but it has not automatically shut off the water fill when full since we purchased the coach in August 2012.  Perhaps when new, it did; I don't know.  Interestingly, our coach has two water-fill switches - one in the water bay and another just under the kitchen sink countertop.  But the kitchen sink water-fill switch has not worked to open or close the Red Hat - now US Solid - water fill valve.  I suspect the two switches are joined to a latching relay which allows both switches to operate the water fill valve independently.  Somewhere on the Forum I read that the kitchen sink switch was likely disabled because when in the coach it's impossible to know when the tank is full, and it will run over making a lake until a neighbor RVer sees it.  I have never found where, if it exists, that latching relay might be located.

Our coach has four water pump switches (kitchen, loo, lavatory, and water bay) that all work independently through a latching relay.  Where it's located is also a mystery... but the four switches all work properly.
