Question:

We had a tire blow out on out 2005 Chinook Glacier a few days ago and it damaged our Bristol black water dump valve. The assembly looks like a 3 sanitation tee with 3 valve and 1-1/2 tee. I have 2 questions: 1 The damage done was separating the bayonet portion from the valve flange. It doesnt look like the ABS material broke - it looks like the bayonet portion just pulled away from the flange. Can I use solvent cement to reattach the bayonet portion to the valve? 2 If I have to replace the valve assembly will the bolts and seals work with the existing flange on the tank side of the valve?

Expert Reply:

ABS solvent most likely would be all you'd need since it looks like you got lucky and didn't break the valve or pipe components. For that we have the part # A05-0303.
