Valterra RV Sewer Hose Carriers: Lengths, Mounting Parts & Hatch

An RV sewer hose carrier keeps the drain hose outside the living and storage areas, but the carrier must be long enough for the collapsed hose and wide enough for its largest end fitting. Valterra offers fixed-length and adjustable storage tubes, a larger-opening accessory carrier for sewer elbows, and mounting parts for different RV frames. This guide helps you match the storage arrangement before ordering.

Compare the carrier sizes

The 15-inch A04-0100BK has a 5½-inch opening intended for compatible elbows and sewer fittings. The regular fixed and adjustable EZ Hose Carriers shown here have a 4½-inch inside diameter. A bulky one-piece 90-degree elbow may not fit through that smaller opening even when the collapsed hose itself does. Confirm the dimensions of every fitting you plan to store.

Fixed and adjustable hose carriers

A04-0100BK — 15-inch EZ Accessory Carrier

A short black carrier with a larger opening for compatible sewer elbows and bulky hose fittings. Designed to attach to an RV bumper or frame with the supplied attachment hardware. It is for fittings, not a 15-foot sewer hose.

A04-0150 — 26-inch EZ Hose Carrier, white

A short fixed storage tube for a compatible collapsed sewer hose. The assembled carrier includes mounting brackets, screws and a vented twist-lock end cap with a retaining strap.

A04-3460 — Adjustable EZ Hose Carrier, white

An adjustable carrier that can be set between 34 and 60 inches to suit the installation space and hose. Valterra includes mounting brackets and screws plus a vented twist-lock cap with a retaining strap.

A04-5094 — Adjustable EZ Hose Carrier, white

For a longer storage run, this adjustable carrier extends from 50 to 94 inches. Valterra includes sliding saddles, brackets, mounting screws and vented twist-lock end-cap hardware; there is no need to order separate saddles just to obtain the supplied set.

Black alternatives for the same length ranges

Prefer a black carrier? These are separate Valterra part numbers, with the corresponding fixed or adjustable size:

• A04-0150XBK — 26-inch fixed, black
• A04-0151XBK — 46-inch fixed, black
• A04-3460BK — 34–60-inch adjustable, black
• A04-5094BK — 50–94-inch adjustable, black

Mounting and storage-hatch parts

A storage tube usually mounts outside the RV to a suitable frame or bumper location. Valterra supplies mounting hardware with the complete carriers, but an alternate mounting position may call for sliding saddles. A pipe-mounted wall hatch is a separate storage design, not a cap for the EZ Hose tube.

A04-0160BK — Adjustable sliding saddles, pair

A pair of black adjustable sliding supports used to position a compatible Valterra hose carrier closer to the edge of the RV when fixed mounts would leave its cap difficult to reach. These are supports, not replacement end caps or a complete carrier.

D04-0471VP — Lockable sewer-hose storage hatch

A white lockable hatch for a separate PVC-pipe hose-storage arrangement. It comes with installation tape and hardware; the PVC storage pipe is not included. This hatch is not a replacement cap for the round EZ Hose Carrier tubes.

What each carrier component does

How to measure before ordering

1. Collapse the complete sewer hose as it would be stored, then measure its length including any permanently attached fittings. Do not use the hose's extended campground length.
2. Measure the largest fitting that must go through the tube opening. Ordinary EZ Hose Carrier openings are 4½ inches; the separate 15-inch accessory carrier has a 5½-inch opening.
3. Check the available mounting run beneath or along the RV. Include clearance for the carrier caps to open and for removing the hose without hitting a bumper, step or other equipment.
4. Choose fixed or telescoping length. Fixed 26- and 46-inch tubes are simpler when those lengths fit. The A04-3460 adjusts from 34 to 60 inches, and A04-5094 adjusts from 50 to 94 inches.
5. Decide whether the standard mounts work. If the carrier must sit farther toward the side of the RV, the A04-0160BK sliding saddles may help. The longer A04-5094 already includes sliding saddles in the manufacturer-listed package.
