Gate Valve Replacement

On line - Amazon, Camping World, etrailer..... any rv store/parts house... even marine stores/parts house.

No cutting... no glue. Take a close look and you'll see the four small bolts/nuts that holds it together.

OP - This is what you'll get in a valve kit:



This kit is CAMCO. I pictured it because the Valterra pic didn't show the small parts as well. Those are the two common brands. At least Valterra offers some with metal handles.

Westend - Do you need more than that? I know that sometimes pool and spa plumbing uses gate valves. Flanges might be available through the pool supply. Probably white, though.

EDIT - Here's a black 1-1/2" flange by Valterra on Amazon, surely there are 3" ones as well.

dont overtighten the screws when replacing them.....very snug yes but stop there...I know because, well I just know!

Good advice you are getting. You do NOT want to change the flange unless it is cracked.

Thanks j-d. That's just what I needed to know. I understand that most folks can just replace the gate and seals but I need a drain plumbing makeover.

Currently, my 3" drain valve is a steel gate with lever handle. The gate won't open fully as the handle hits the trailer bottom. It was probably a previous owner that was tired of servicing the typical valves.

I have complex plans ahead with my tanks and plumbing, installation of a second tank, containment and heating pads, etc. It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. ;)
