Dump valve, repair kit, which one?

[bmklawt]

I have a 1975 Tradewind and need to replace or rebuild the dump valves in the Spring, my valves say 01447 Slide-EZ Valve T-1169.
I find reference to using kit #09872 or #03827, can anyone tell me which is the correct kit?

Your help is appreciated.

As I recall, you can use either kit. One comes with a new aluminum backing plate, which replaces the original plastic plate. This makes the value about 1/8" thinner, but I don't think that's a problem, generally.

Zeppelinium,

Thank you very much, exactly what I needed to know

For reference to whom may read this down the road:

For the all plastic Thetford SLIDE-EZ valve use repair kit No. 09872
For the metal backed Thetford SLIDE-EZ valve use repair kit No. 03827. You can also use this to convert an all plastic valve to a metal backed valve. Will make your valve 3/8" thinner
SLIDE-EZ valve conversion kit No. 12200, can be used to convert a stainless steel backed valve to an all plastic one. Will make your valve 3/8" thicker
I can neither confirm or deny this but according to Thetford part No. 08706 with handle or No. 08707 without handle is the replacement valve for the all plastic valve.
