This is the rebuild kit. Unless you have BROKEN parts, you just rebuild Thetford dump valves. Doug
Turns out I have the 08671 valve which means both ends are glued in place. This is on a Travel Supreme 5th wheel and all of the connections from the tanks to the hose attach are glued. There is no way to break it apart anywhere (no bolts or slip connections.) Which is the second part of the questions. Both valves are glued to a Y joint. Opposite ends are glued to a pipe to the tanks. How in the world do I go about repairing something like that? Best I can come up with is cut the pipes between the tanks and valves then use rubber couplers to reattached. Kinda nervous about doing that since there really is no going back. Any ideas or words of advice?
