If an existing RV cable waste valve stops sealing or the gate body is damaged, the valve body may be replaceable without buying another full six-foot remote-handle kit. Valterra sells body-and-coupler service packages in 1½-inch and 3-inch sizes, as well as a fixed hub-to-spigot 3-inch valve designed to be cable operated.

What the diagram letters identify
These letters correspond to the actual Valterra connection illustration rather than being substitute part numbers.
| Label | Component | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| C | Red positioning tab | Keeps the handle in its setup position until the cable is attached |
| D | Exposed inner control wire | Transmits the handle movement to the gate coupler |
| E | Flexible cable housing | Guides the inner wire from remote handle to the valve |
| F | Coupler and Allen set screw | Connects the inner wire to the gate shaft |
| G | Collar screws | Secure the cable housing at the valve body |
| H | Handle mounting locknut | Retains the cable handle at the chosen mounting panel |
| I | Collar entry hole | Receives the cable housing at the valve |
T1001PBC and T1003PBC include a coupler, seals and mounting hardware but not a new control cable or handle. T40H is a 3-inch hub-to-spigot cable valve sold without the cable. The 1½-inch T1001VPM and 3-inch T1003VP use ordinary manual handles; they are shown only to help distinguish a manual design from the remote cable system.
Choose the correct valve or replacement body
The diagram below identifies the cable housing, internal control wire, coupler and retaining hardware used to connect a remote handle to a compatible valve. It is an installation connection diagram rather than an exploded internal parts view. Before choosing a body, confirm the existing cable interface, mounting pattern, drain connections and valve diameter.
| Valterra part | Valve size | What's different |
|---|---|---|
| T1001PBC | 1½-inch body | Coupler, seals and hardware; no cable or handle |
| T1003PBC | 3-inch body | Coupler, seals and hardware; no cable or handle |
| T40H | 3-inch hub × spigot | Cable valve with fixed pipe ends; no cable |
| T1001VPM | 1½-inch body | Manual metal pull handle, not a cable-coupled valve |
| T1003VP | 3-inch body | Manual plastic pull handle, not a cable-coupled valve |
