name of a valve I need to replace

I own a 2014 voltage 3305 and I have a water leak from winterizing last year. It is the black 3 way valve behind the wall where my red bypass/ winterize switch in the hook up station. I took it out but can't post a pic. Anyone know what it is called as I need a replacement ?
thanks in advance

    Is it labeled?. Without a pic only voltage owners can help.

    Sounds like a 3 way diverter valve to me.


    yup 3-way or diverter valve You can find a SUITABLE valve at any hardware or plumbing supply but an EXACT replacement may be harder to find. If you want an EXACT replacement take photo to parts counter at a good size RV place.
  • The factory ones are really a cheap product very prone to freeze leaks and breakage when installing a new one. Find a 1/2 barb 3 way valve made out of brass, you'll be better off.
    If you want the factory one see the link below.

  • I just replaced mine with this one: https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=83635 for $20.00 plus tax and shipping. I did use the red handle from the original valve and the original plate.

    WOW!!!!!
    I looked locally here in Calgary Alberta Canada at every dealership.
    It is out of stock everywhere and one place said they could order for 159 but not idea how long to get here with the ways things are and backorders.
    I literally found the last one in the city and price was 259!!!!!!
    How is that for the covid gouge?????? I know this price is CDN!!!!

    Brutal. But I fixed myself and we lost all of August last years as my schwintek slides were out so I bit the bullet and look forward to many trips out!!!
    Thanks for replies again.
