I hate to sound stupid but is the ball valve just secured onto the pipe Or is it secured to the bracket ?
It just seems a bit of a weak link.
cheers
Hi All
this is mrs antpurley as mr antpurley is away on business now for a few days and left me with the problem.
been to bq and wickes nothing there that you have all described. contacted johns cross and have most bits but swift want 60+ quid for the bracket. which reluctantly I will pay if I have too
could someone give me a very basic idiots guide in whatI need to buy especially in relation to the bracket
many thanks
mandy
many thanks for your help I will go again and ask, haven't taken your comments the wrong way but he might when he sees it after he was more than capable of building our double extension and always done our diy perfectly over the last 25years.
We don't want to just make do for our motorhome, just adding a cheap piece of elastaplast, we want to replace with what should be there, all we were asking for was the correct part to ask for.
The motorhome had a large bracket supporting the pipe, swift charge 62 pounds for it, simply going into bq and asking for a bracket, I am afraid they are going to wonder what planted I am on.
The "bracket" on my Swift Bolero is just a length of (approximately) 2" wide sheet steel with a right angled bend in it. There is then a hole drilled in the bottom end of it to take the ball valve fitting.
If you go to B&Q they are unlikely to have anything close. If you want to restore the van to original without paying Swift's price then I'd go to a local metal fabricator and get a bracket made up. I'd guess about £10 -£20 (cash) would more than cover it.
If you want the measurements from mine then I could get them for you later.
Yes, sorry. I wasn't having a go. If you want exactly the right thing then Johnscross. A ball valve like that might be more of an agricultural thing, are you near a good agricultural supplies place?
Alan.
Look here, valves aren't cheap, maybe Johnscross are the answer.
Same thing happened to me two years ago. Got out of the Van to set up waste water container and spent few minutes thinking I had gone a little dotty! Fortunatly I was near a Canal Boat Chandlers and the kind gent there measured up me pipes and fixed a green bendy plastic water pipe used in Canal Boats. It is attached to the waste tank outlet with a Jubilee Clip and then I hook to a spot under the chassis with a carabiner. It is about 2 metres long. When hooked up it is high enough for waste to collect in tank .
