Re: Bristol dump valve compatibility

My black water dump fell pipe from its bracket and dragged on the road. The valve is a Bristol but only the outer part is damaged. Can I buy a Valterra or Camco valve which is cheaper and will the screws align or should I buy a new Bristol and only use part of it? I don't want to cut the whole valve off and then have to extend the pipe in order to glue a new valve on. Maybe a new Bristol won't even match the old Bristol.

I had to replace a T-handle on my grey water valve which had fallen off somewhere. None of the Valterra's would work because the handle needed a hole through the middle for a screw to screw into the tube coming out. I ordered the Bristol off Amazon and it fit perfectly. I don't know if that particular valve is Bristol or not as it's a remote release and I would have to get back up under the coach. Other valves on my coach are Valterra. Not sure why this handle was different.
