Sewer outlet lock tabs

These guys have several options.

If you could post a photo of your setup I'm sure someone on here can help you find what you are looking for.

Be sure you get fittings with four tabs... huge improvement over the old two tab/ear fittings.

If you mean that it's the pegs that are breaking off, and the fitting that they are part of is glued to the drain line here is how to remove it at the glue joint.

With a hack saw cut it off at the glue joint.
Then with a hack saw blade cut 2 slots, about 3/4in. apart, in the part you want to remove, down to the fitting you want to keep. I find it's easier if you hold the saw blade with teeth pointing towards you.
Then use a screw driver as a chisel and with a hammer drive the screw driver between the glued parts. They will pop apart.
Now chisel the rest of the glued part.
Actually the parts/fittings are not glued but solvent welled.
This does work, I've done it many times to not only plastic pipe but also PVC electric conduit.

The link that Fubeca posted has a $3.49 fitting from E-Trailer which I think will work for me. Going to order one. Thanks for your help

If that fitting does not work, then dusty r's suggestion will work. Just go slow and take your time.

Thanks for the support.
Last time I posted this, someone posted that it would not work. But like I said I've done it many times. I have had the hub that I was trying to save crack a time or two. Something that I have not tried is to put a stainless hose clamp on the hub while chiseling the out the interior.

Find a SHORT extension with the hooks on end and the tabs on the other. Use some PVC cleaner and glue, then insert the new extension letting the hooks on the extension connect to the existing tabs on the pipe. It will take about 15 minutes for the glue to dry! If you use a clear one, you can always see what's coming out. Keep camping!

Did the exact thing that Fubeca said last week. Cut off the remaining tabs and use ABS cement on the Valterra T1029-2. Worked fine.

I've repaired a few broken off pins for folks over the years by simply screwing short self-drilling/self-tapping screws in to replace them. Just drive them in far enough so the heads don't interfere with twisting the tabs in place. It works great at least as a temporary repair until a more permanent fix is available. I do know some folks have used the fitting that way for a number of years though.
