Sewer connection rework project.
My sewer connection under the trailer is about 2 feet in. I don't squat well anymore and have to get on my knees to take the cap off and hook up the sewer hose. I'm thinking about cutting and replacin...

If there is no alternative than to replace the 3 x 1/2 x 3 tee, 3 inch waste valve end and grey water adapters you might try cutting the 3 inch 45 degree elbow at the half way point first making it a 22.5 degree elbow and see if a 3 inch 22.5 degree female x female or female x male abs elbow can be glued onto the remaining portion of the 45 degree elbow. Then extend the 3 inch as needed.
Another option is if you already have enough ground clearance, remove the 3 inch cap. Cut off or break off the tabs on the sides of the male bayonet fitting that allows the cap to twist on turning that fitting into a straight adapter. Then glue on a 22.5 degree elbow and then extend the 3 inch pipe as needed.
I did something similar by gluing the below fittings together for my home dump station. I removed the bayonet tabs from the male threaded fitting and then glued the 2 fittings together.
3 inch Male pipe thd x male bayonet fitting
3 inch female glued x male bayonet adapter
I needed a longer 3 inch male pipe thd x male bayonet fitting than the original. My clean out was too deep in the ground for the original. I left these fittings in place and use a female bayonet cap to seal it in lieu of the original threaded plug. I added a cover over the dump station / clean out when done.
