Waste Valve Will Not Open With Cable Pull
Question:
Is there a cable keeper that needs to be tighten I cant get the valve to open . The valve has been opening fine it is like the cable has come unhooked.

Expert Reply:
The cable is normally attached to the valve using a set screw inside the housing. You would want to pry the housing open and see if the cable has come unhooked if you have the LaSalle Bristol Cable-Actuated RV Waste Valve for Gray Water Tank part # 34466N11AB60GM. There is not replacement cable available for the Lasalle Bristol so you would most likely need to replace the whole unit.
If you have the Valterra brand like part # TC172 you can replace the cable with part # TC72PB.
