Question:
I have a 2023 Escape E19 Fiberglass Escape. I got the handle to the 3inch Waste gate Valve hung up on a bush. Ripped the gateinch part out/open some and then bent the handle. It will not close. I noticed the gateinch part of the whole combo unit is VERY narrow to replace that part? No where can I find a thickness to just the gates part sandwiched in. Looking at this one, seems narrow enough. Bladex Waste Valve Body T1003DSPBshows a metal rod coming out? BUT, Then I need a threaded gate handle. The handle sits there, not some cable one?

Hello Carolyn. The Valterra Bladex Waste Valve Body # T1003DSPB you mentioned is designed to be used with a cable instead of a handle. If you want same valve but with a T-handle, you can use the following:
- Valterra Bladex Waste Valve Body for RV Black Water Tank - Aluminum Handle - 3" Diameter # T1003VPM
