Broken dump valve T handle

I used a piece of stainless steel tubeing and made all new handles for mine. Dill a hole the size of the thread on one side, and bigger on the other side. Then take a nut thread it on. Still works and no more plastic handles to break.

You can also just take the old piece and run some more threads into it with a 1/4-20 tap. The rod is actually soft aluminum tube. The broken off piece on the valve should be easily removable. I have done this several times.

I have one that uses a pin to secure it and it broke. I could not find a new one so I used JB weld to put it back together. Never had a problem with it for the last two years. I've had to fix several thing on our fulltime RV using JB weld would'nt travel without it.

LOL!
When putting my RV toolbox together the first thing I put in it was JB fast quickweld and some epoxy. Good stuff and the JB quick sets up WAY faster than the standard stuff. I've used it to fix a crack in an engine block, master link on a MC chain, leaking fuel line on tractor, broken handle bars, etc...GOOD STUFF!

If I can't find a replacement the JB will fix it!

Check your nearest RV dealer for these.

our ace hardware store sells a lot of different handles in the nut/bolt depart. take your old one to match threads. and size.
