Title: Kip air dump valve
Post by: rip on April 23, 2015, 07:07:02 AM
I have a Big Foot system on my Prevost and I need help finding a dump valve for it. I called Big Foot and they were no help. They no longer supply dump valves with their systems and were no help trying to find one. I found out the valve was made by Kip and after talking with them they no longer make that valve.They did say they could make my with a 25 valve order.This to me looks like a simple valve,but looking everywhere I can't find one.This is a 12volt 6watt valve. I hope someone can lead me to a company that might have one.

Convert it over to a MAC or Velvac etc. any truck and trailer supply has a replacement for about 30 bucks  Monoco RV used the KIP they were never anything but problems

www.Velvac.com (http://www.velvac.com) Velvac Rapid Dump Air Suspension Valve part # 032195 a possibility. Try Ebay too many Velvac stuff there.

Thanks for the suggestions,but I tried four shops in Phx. with no luck so far.I don't understand way another brand of valve won't work. I have to to several supply houses online with no luck.

I don't know how your system is set up are you looking for a 2,3 or 4 way valve if so use the Velvac 3200131 for 4 way you can use the Norgen that is what Prevost and MCI uses do you have a picture of the valve ? have you checked with Betts Truck and Bus Parts on Buckeye or FleetPride in Mesa
