For what it's worth, pick up an extra handle from your local RV dealership parts shop or order one off Amazon. You just never know when you'll need to replace one.

Mine are attached to the end of a cable. Arrived at a new campground yesterday and wanted to drain the kitchen sink tank. The handle was gone. Found an RV parts store about 5 miles from the campground, got a new handle and got it back on.

The Valterra handles are threaded. Mine has a pin run through the plastic handle and into the metal rod. The plastic handle just broke away, nothing there.

I had to clip off the remaining pin in the rod, and then the handle just screwed on. Tightened the nut behind it and all is well.

I'm going to pick up another one to keep, just in case. You never know.

I lost one on my previous camper once too. It was the T handle on a metal shaft. I picked one up and simply screwed the new one back on.
