We offer two (2) options to make holding the valve open easier. Our Part #105070, is a lock open device.  The 105070 is designed to hold the valve open when in the fully open position. We also offer, our part #106016-1, which is a telescoping handle.  This device offers better leverage in opening or closing the dump valves. Both of these items can be purchased as original equipment or added to an existing Newton Kwik Dump Valve.
