I guess by the way it sounds you snaped oft the valve oft of the discharge pipe,
right? If you still have some pipe left than you can get a plastic nipple
(Large coupling and slip it over the broken part of the pipe. Then like I did I
just got another gate vlv and installed it. So where is the pipe snapped oft
at? jon
