The Double RV Waste Valves # T68C and the Bristol Double RV Waste Valves # 34466ND17AAR are both going to serve the same purpose. The only real difference between the two is where they are manufactured.

The Bristol Double RV Waste Valves # 34466ND17AAR is made in the USA and the Double RV Waste Valves # T68C is not.

If being made in the USA means something to you, then you should go with the Bristol Double RV Waste Valves # 34466ND17AAR. Otherwise, you will be perfectly fine using the more economical option of the Double RV Waste Valves # T68C.
