What To Do When The Bayonet Lugs Break Off Of The Sewer Fitting
Question:
The pins on my hose adapter is broken how can I fix it without the sewage coming out because there is sewage still in the tank

The lugs of a sewer pipe fitting can not be fixed so you would have to completely replace the fitting. To do that you'll have to first empty out the tank, which since your lug fitting has broken off will require you to hold the hose in place to prevent anything from leaking out on the ground. I highly recommend wearing gloves and glasses as well as a mask to safely get through this process.
Once the tank is cleared you can then remove the fitting and replace it with a new one. If you could send me some pictures of your broken fitting I'd be happy to find the correct replacement and walk you through the replacement process.
The # T1029-2 you were looking at is designed to slip over a 3" diameter pipe, so depending on your setup if you have the room to cut off the old one and have gate valves before this to cut off flow from the tank then you could get away with swapping out the fitting before having to clear the tank, like I mentioned above. If you want to send in some pictures it would make things a lot clearer and we can come up with the best game plan.
