Right Drain Orientation - What It Means
The VB23528HR features right drain orientation (HR), which means the drain outlet is positioned on the right side of the tank when viewing from the front. This is critical for proper installation:
- Ensures drain outlet aligns with your RV's existing plumbing
- Matches factory configurations for right-side drain systems
- Eliminates need for custom plumbing modifications
- Provides proper flow and drainage performance
Important: Verify your RV's drain orientation before ordering. If your RV has left-side plumbing, you'll need the left drain version (VB23528HL) instead.
