Black tank to valve connection

[mstng69gt]

have a 2014 Heartland Bighorn Silverado 5th wheel that I bought used.

The front black tank fell


out and the straps kept it from hitting the pavement. It was parked for several months in our RV park site. Not sure what caused it but maybe it was what I found: the black tank outlet was connected to the valve by a length of ABS pipe. The pipe was fitted over the tank outlet and two hose clamps were over it. I’m thinking How can those clamps compress a hard pipe like that enough to hold it tight?? The other end was glued into the valve.

I’ve attached a picture of the tank outlet and the split valve.

What should actually be used to connect the two using a new valve?

Thanks
John

The square connection on the pipe in the left picture, should be one on the opposite side connection. Then the valve goes in between these and bolted together.

Thanks David, but how would it attach to the black tank outlet in the picture?

Here is a picture of a new valve from Valterra, it shows the connection for the drain lines.

Everything on YouTube I could find showed a valve being connected somewhere down line, not a connection to the black tank. Just want to get it right the first time and avoid any leaks or outright failure. Thanks.
