I ended up replacing one of the drain valves under the couch that was leaking with a similar setup as you describe. Just used a T, a close valve and some pieces of pex to make it work. Pretty easy but I did have to drill a new hole in the floor for the drain tube exit, as the new setup would not allow me to use the existing drain hole.

rather than replacing the o-rings, since i was unable to find any that would fit, on the drain valves that are located under the oven and range, i just took the o-ring off and put a little teflon tape around the drain plug where the o-ring goes, then slid the o-ring back on. the teflon tape makes the o-ring "expand" to fit the drain tube better. however, one of the drain valves under the couch broke when i was trying to unscrew the lines from it. It's unusable now so it has to be replaced with something. if anyone has installed any replacement drain valves for a '92 itasca or similar model, i would love to know what you used. i'm still trying to piece it together without much luck so far. thanks.

thanks for the responses! a guy i talked to at winnebago suggested the same thing about the o-rings. i finally got the metal rings off (they were rusted) and extracted the o-rings. i am going to replace them tomorrow. i also had the thought of just cutting the valve portion out of the original fitting and then replacing it, like you did henry. both great suggestions! thanks.

any idea where to find replacement valves for the fresh water drains? mine are leaking and there doesn't seem to be an easy replacement available. thanks!

Hello. I'm new here and just purchased a 1992 Toyota Winnebago Itasca Spirit. The line drain valves that drain the fresh water system are leaking so I need to replace them. However, Winnebago doesn't make them anymore and the replacements they have don't fit. According to my original Winnebago parts catalogue, the original line drain valves had 1/2" F fittings. The replacement part that I was sent has 1/2" P fittings. They almost work, but the threaded plastic cap on my hoses won't screw onto the fittings on the line drain valve. I tried using the caps that came with the drain valve, but there is no way to secure the hose into the cap. It looks like I might have to replace all of my fresh water hoses but this seems like overkill and unnecessary. Maybe I could splice on some different hose ends that would work with the new drain valve fittings. Can someone suggest some solutions to this problem? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
