Coach 435 sewer connection repair - cwl1979 - 06-19-2025
When i bought my coach the previous owner did not have the fancy elbow for the sewer connection. I looked everywhere for a reasonable replacement. I did not like the "cup" idea. So I went to the store and bought a fitting saver reamer. Looking everything over i removed the panel that holds the city water pressure regulator. Since I had just rebuilt that on Saturday it wasn't hard to pop the rivets off to make room for a drill. Proceeded to ream out the old style fitting about 1 inch deep. I wanted to use it as a union to glue in a new fitting. Dry fit everything and realized I would have to trim the new fitting about 3/4 inch so it would clear with an elbow attached. Got everything test fit pulled apart cleaned up and glued together. No more searching for connectors. I'm now able to buy hoses that readily attach and seem mostly universal anywhere. As far as I'm thinking... problem solved.

Nice job, those reamers really can save your butt. I wish it could have been that simple for me. Dupree valve at my black tank was cracked and leaking. So I had to cut all the plumbing out to replace that valve anyways. I replaced both valves with new and replumbed it all back and used a bayonet connector so that I can use the readily available hoses.

I was thinking of doing that. Then I decided that would be option 2 if this one didn't work.

You know I didn't even know they made on of those! Very cool!

Socket saver is what I have seen them called. I have not used one yet but saw someone else use it in a similar manner, it can really save you some time.
