Left Drain Orientation - What It Means
The VR246085HRBLANK features left drain orientation, which means the drain outlet is positioned on the left 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 left-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 right-side plumbing, you'll need the right drain version (VR246085HLBLANK) instead.
