Tank Fittings

[Chuck Wheeler]

Does anyone know how the drain fittings for the dump valves are connected to
the tanks? I have a seeping leak on my black water tank. I have removed
the drain line and the valves and the pipe is loose where it enters the
tank. There is some hard epoxy like stuff around the area and I can't tell
if it is original or where a previous owner tried to fix a leak. Any
knowledge would be appreciated.

The pipe SCREWS into the tank........cut off the pipe AFTER the
flush valve so u can use it as leverage to UNSCREW THE MALE PIPE
FROM THE TANK.
Recommend ..DRAINMASTER. COM IF YOU PUT NEW DRAIN VALVES ON..THEY
ARE 12 VOLTS... I put drainmaster 12 volt flush valves on both my
birds and think they are wonderful...push a button and ...BAM...it
flows.
email me if any questions...a guy named DAN at the factory helped
me...drainmaster.com ..about $160.00 for all of it!!

Chuck:
I had the same situation with mine. Cleaned around the fitting/tank as much as
possible,
prying off old epoxy. Cleaned with acetone and fixed with small sections of
fiberglass
cloth and epoxy (supermend). It's holding fine. There was no visible evidence
that the
original fitting was screwed into the tank and there was definitely old epoxy of
some kind
around the fitting.
