Black water dump valve

Hi all.

I purchased a 2018 Salem Hemisphere Hyperlite 29BHHL travel trailer a few months ago, and for the life of me can't find the black water tank drain valve. The 2 grey water tanks valves are tied in to the 3" line which is, I'm guessing, the one that runs back up to the black water tank. The outer stickers indicate that the black water tank valve should be right above the left side grey water valve, however it is not.

Am I missing something? or am I just blind. Any chance one of you fine people who have this similar trailer can snap a pic of where its located for me. I'll put up a pic of the underside are on mine when I get back to it later today.

Thanks in advance. This is my first new trailer, and will probably be asking a lot of dumb questions these next few months. Lol

Looking at the specs for your rig you only have one gray and one black tank. so both valves are there. This is an edit I went back and looked at the specs and want to qualify my answer the specs show a total gal of gray and black so there may be a third tank.

Looking at your floor plan I think you have a gray and black behind the axels and a galley in front. So yes, you would need three valves. I could be wrong.

What I am seeing on the specs for your trailer are a Black water capacity of 27 gallons and a Gray water capacity of 54 gallon. So I think you do have two 27 gallon gray tanks one for the galley sink and one for the shower and bathroom sink along with your black water tank off the toilet.
Looking at your layout I would guess the galley gray water would dump somewhere in the area that is under your slideout just ahead of the front axle.

It is located above the two gray tank handles. Ours didn’t come with the black handle or the screw holding on the rod came loose. The dealership’s tech had a spare one which I attached with a dab of lock-tite.
