Gadgets help with hand strength, grip on sewer connections

By Dustin Simpson
When it comes to RVing, one of the challenges we all face is when it is time to install or remove your sewer connections. Having enough hand grip and strength to twist can become a challenge.

Having the leverage required to remove the sewer cap and the dump hose or stinky slinky can be difficult to remove or install at times. We all could use a drain helper, so here are two helpful tools that can make the job a little easier.

Two wrenches to help with your RV sewer connection

These wrenches are for the orange Rhino fittings and almost any connectors, caps or adapters. Using the two handles on the sewer fitting wrench, you grab the sewer hose where it comes together and use this product to lock it in place.

  • Provides leverage for loosening and tightening swivel fittings
  • Fit Type: Universal Fit
  • Compatible with Rhino, Revolution, Easy Slip and many other bayonet and lug fittings
  • Lightweight and durable

If the wrenches do not fit your cap or your sewer hose, here is a different wrench that you can use:


Hope this information helps you, and please share if you found something better to use.

Thank you for the information, Dustin! We bought the set of two plastic wrenches a couple of years ago. So far they have not been needed. I am sure that they will be needed sometime. Have a great week and safe travels!
