black water T handle

[gobears]

My waste water T handle extension is cracked at the threaded connection to the valve, only a matter of time until it breaks completely, I did a search on google for a replacement and I come up empty, only complete valve assemblies or just the handle without threaded extension to be found. Anyone know where these could be purchased? Thanks in advance

I've seen them on ebay & Camping world for about $2.75!

the original should be just a piece of aluminum. Buy a piece of 1/4" threaded rod the lenth you need and screw it into the valve and reuse your t-handle

Its the female end, an extension rod with female threads, the threaded rod is on the valve. I didn't think about replacing the whole rod, thanks thats a good idea

[racerjoe]

you could pick up what they call a coupling nut to use as a female end if needed

We got a replacement at our rv dealer. I think most of them carry the handles. In our case it came attached to the road and I just unscrewed the cap and put it on the existing rod.

I just read this old post. I drilled golf balls ( a little under size ) and screwed one painted black in the black tank rod & white ones on the gray tank rods. Easy to grip & and don't break like the plastic.

I bought an aluminum handle at an RV store- Also replaced the aluminum rod with a threaded steel rod- JMHO- Don
