Waste tank handle question

[blanesdad]

I own a 2019 Sprinter 3151 FWRLS 5th wheel. The black tank handle stuck open and I broke the handle trying to close it. My problem is that I can't find one on the internet like it. The handle I need to replace pivots. The ones I see on the internet screw on. The grey tank handle pivots as well. Does anyone know where I can find the replacement? I called my dealership but they haven't called me back. Thanks

If you were having that much trouble operating that valve, you may be better off just replacing the valve and cable assembly. It's very likely that you won't be able to find a handle, unless you can get a handle and modify it to work. If you can remove one of the other handles to see exactly how to make or modify one, that might be an option.

Thanks for your reply. I can't remove one of the other handles (unless I break it) because the handle is held on by a pin the goes perpendicular through the rod to which the the handle is attached. The pin is what allows the handle to pivot at the end of the rod.

i’m using a big feeder washer with a nut feeder washer and a nut on the threads. Easy to push in with the palm of your hand.

I didn't mention this, but I should have, the biggest problem is how to get the pin out of the handle rod. When it broke part of the pin was left in the rod. If I can get that out I guess I will have to modify it or replace the entire cable, which requires dropping the underbelly.
