I wish I could just cut the 3" pipe and repair from there but the ABS comes out of the tank at a 45 with another 45 going right into the drain valve which is where the break is located. I have not had any luck locating the exact style of drain valve with the T in the same location so it won't attach back to the 1 1/2" line with out modifications there also and if I do it makes it even farther under the trailer. I am thinking I would like to have it stick out a bit farther as it is a real challenge to get to the black water valve now.
I looked and it seems the goop is the soft sealant that was used at the tank so it should come out pretty easy I hope. I figure the unit is 7 years old so it is probably a good idea to change out both valves now before they fail. Would you agree?
