T handle waste valve replacement

Broke 1/2 of the t-handle on one of my 2018 Scamp waste valves and wondering if the handle can be replaced separately without replacing the whole waste valve? The name on the valve was Bristol, and I ordered a Bristol t-handle but the replacement handle is somewhat different and has a separate screw that holds the t-handle on a threaded shaft. I do not think that the original t-handle is on a threaded shaft.

So does anyone know if I can order a t-handle, t-handle with shaft, or have to replaced the complete waste valve.


Thanks,
Jack

Maybe the shaft threads are broken off inside the old handle?



Give these folks a call. They've got practically every brand https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories...waAoLtEALw_wcB

Any of these handles I have ever replaced did thread onto the shaft. I never had one with an set screw, though. Just put a pair of pliers onto the shaft and turn the handle and see what happens. Bert

If you are going through the trouble of repairing it, I would just do the hepo valve replacement for the gray tank and eliminate the t-handle version, assuming it is a similar task as the Casita replacement.

The Hepvo only replaces drain traps, it doesn't replace the gate on the waste valve.

Did you find a fix, Jack?

The previous owner of my scamp broke both ends of T-handle off the grey-water tank valve. It's pretty uncomfortable to grab it with my palm or two fingers.

Scampa,


I bought a complete new gate valve and replaced the whole thing, simple job.

It's been a few years but I think I used this one.

The "metal" looks great. Thank you very much.

I wonder if there's a way to check that it'll fit on my 2013 13' scamp before I buy it.

Like so many listings on Amazon they leave out needed information. I think mine was 1/4" X 20 TPI.
