🔧 Valterra 1215.1124 T1003-6MN Bladex Metal Valve Handle Review

It took about 5 minutes to remove the broken handle and replace it with a new Valterra handle. I hope it's stronger than the plastic that rubbed the bolt and broke it.

I don't know why this isn't an original part on all SUVs. Using a pair of vises and a leather glove to avoid damaging the valve stem, I repaired the broken plastic handle with relative ease. I added a drop of blue Loctite to make sure the new one doesn't pull back.

I hope I never replace this again. As RV enthusiasts know, all plastic parts become brittle when exposed to ultraviolet light. I think that's why these knobs end up failing. I think this metal replacement will last longer than this pendant. Easy to thread. Took less than 5 minutes.

Last year during a freezing cold trip in a campervan I had to replace two plastic handles because they broke. I found them at a local RV store and replaced them. I love her. I had to replace another one so I ended up ordering it from Revain. This is a quality product that will stand up to the road and the weather. Delivery was quick. We strongly encourage you to replace your plastic bottles with these before you need them.
