Abstract

A vehicle waste water valve in the form of a gate valve having a retractable gate movable in response to a movable gate which is vertically movably by way of cable pull assembly. The cable pull assembly includes an outer jacket sheath with a solid cable inside the sheath which is axially movable, and has its free end connected to the gate stem. The cable pull sheath is held in an axial manner by way of its connection within a termination block, wherein a threaded member is threaded into the termination block and into the cable pull sheath, where the threaded member extends along an axial length of the cable pull sheath. The termination block in turn can be threadably attached to a cable pull body, which in turn is latchably attached to the valve body.
