I broke the darned thing, I need the t section that connects the gray and black water tanks to the dump gate (need that too). Can Anyone suggest a supplier for replacement parts specific to my trailer, or suggest a way to repair what I have. Thanks in advance.

Welcome Gawgagrey!
Post a couple of photos so we can help. If your fittings are white, they should be replaced with Valterra Black parts and valves. Much less costly that way...

As far as I know, Shasta never had gray water tanks, only black water tanks. The tee was probably for the galley sink drain line, which bypasses the black water tank and goes straight to the valve gate. Here is a picture of the assembly and it should be just like the one that you have. You mean this one?  Here is a link to my picture album and how I made some repairs to my 1970 Shasta Starflyte ABS plumbing lines: picasaweb.google.com/117311562985050168797/1970ShastaStarflyteBackToWork#6199911033737424050Just remember, you can only join ABS to ABS. You can't glue PVC to ABS plastics, but you can use Flexible PVC (rubber) fittings with band clamps to change from ABS to another type of plumbing pipe.
Vintage Trailer Supply has some ABS plumbing fittings that might help or check a local plumbing supply house in your area for ABS fittings. Hopefully this will help. Ross |

My '76 Shasta has both black and grey water tanks and two blade valves... Unfortunately I tore the end off the black tank by catching the drain on a stump.

When Coachman acquired the Shasta brand in 1976, I believe is when the gray water tanks were added.

Wow that was quick! Sorry I wasn't a little clearer in my post. The "T" connects the black water and gray water (galley sink) tanks. I'll take pics tomorrow in the a.m. and post them. Pretty sure they'll look like the above photo, but in any event you'll be able to see what I've got and where it's broken. Thanks for the help!

I'm not having any luck posting photos. If one of you guys can explain the procedure I'll post some pics.

The assembly needs to be replaced. Copy what's there but add a black Valterra gate valve. These fittings are not expensive and having all new allows adjustment and replaceable components. Valterra valves have 4 bolts that allow repairs...

If you want to keep the "Original Products", you can replace the entire manual gate valve with new locking ring. Then, from run new pipe from the gate valve to the rest of the fixtures. As far as I know, Valterra doesn't have a 6 lug locking ring, which if you were to change out to Valterra parts, you are going to run into problems with changing out the lug ring on the tank. At least that was the issue with mine. There wasn't enough of a connection for a new lug ring, if I were to remove the old one. Rick Ellerbeck was a BIG help when I needed parts for our Starflyte.
