Re: [A/S] Thetford Blade Valve Replacement



I didn't have to contend with that problem. The Bambi has a pretty compact
blade valve/drain manifold type thingy (how's that for a tech term?) The
main body of the fitting is straight and the gray water from kitchen and
shower just tee into it after the blade so it drains free all the time. The
entire blade/fitting assy is a copper casting, and is quite something.
Another option you may have is to have a machine shop fabricate an adapter
plate. One end could match the bolt pattern on the tank, the other end could
match a new valve assy.........Nothing but endless possibilities........But
in the end there is always JB Weld!
