What it is and how to fix it

Hymer water drain tap problem

Does anybody know how to remove the 'tap' mechanism on my Hymer water tank? It won't shut off and I think there is a securing clip come adrift under the white top part at the bottom.

Its for setting the water level at half full for travelling and to drain the fresh water tank

I don't know what it is called but I had a problem and sorted it as follows: Filled the tank from empty with sterilising solution and let it sit for a few hours. Turned the black triangle circle anticlockwise to empty and... nothing. The turn handle had become disconnected from the valve at the bottom of the tank due to, I think, overfilling the tank and causing it to expand slightly. This lifted the shaft from the handle out of the mechanism at the botttom of the tank, as I discovered when fiddling about inside the tank through the inspection hatch. I partially emptied the freshwater tank by turning on the taps and letting water run through into the grey water tank, which allowed splash free access and a better view. Further fiddling and upward pressure on the shaft allowed it to be lifted over the top of a small cylindrical part and reinserted into the mechanism at the bottom of the tank. Clockwise rotation on the black handle then seem to re-engage the shaft with, I assume, the threaded part at the bottom and the whole thing is now working fine again.
Hope this helps

Thanks for that ;-)

It's broken so I need a replacement and trying to find the name of that particular part.
