95 excella thetford valve/bracket replacement
I need to replace the inside (gray water tank side) bracket that the Thedford valve screws to. I have a 25 ft 95 excella.
I have read a number of the posts on the forum and was hoping to get a little clarification.
I have cut the acess panel. When I unscrew the thedford valve from the bracket, will I then be able to slide the bracket forward (after loosening the t-bolt clamp, and then be able to take the thedford valve off and ultimately slide the bracket back off?
Or
Will I have to cut the pipe on the discharge side of the Thedford valve, glue on a new pipe fitting and couple it back to the dicharge "Y". I would imagine I would couple it back with a 2 clamp hose fitting. Kind of looks like a straight pipe is coming out of this side of the Thedford and then glued into the "Y". Is the end of the straight pipe going into the Thedford glued into the Thedford or held tight be seals/o-rings?
I know it can not be that confusing but before I started on the disasembly, thought I would try a getter a little bit better understanding. I probably just made it confusing by all my questions.
thanks, Richard
