Black drain broken and dragged

Had a rental return my rv today and said the drain "came off" and dragged. He emptied tank prior so no spills but I need parts asap. I have to leave Saturday for a week and have to get this done.

It's the tank (passenger) side and there's an elbow that's come off and I think when it dragged it sanded itself down so need a valve.

Are these easy available parts to get? Amazon has them. How about attaching? I see a clamp but are they glued as well?

Going into the tank it is clamped with sealant.
The valve is a standard valve - get it from Amazon. Looks like a bolt and replace job. Also, fix/install hangers for the pipe.

Download your waste diagrams from Thor and they should include a parts list. Parts should be available at most plumbing supply or hardware stores. Joints are usually glued.

Looks like O-Ring, butyl tape, and a clamp for the ABS pipe transition into the polyethene tank - no glue.

Yeah I just got to the RV and pulled it. Just an elbow, clamp, and valve. I think he ran aground, busted it out of the clamp and it fell out of the tank then scraped itself flat. At least he tied it with rope to get home. Click image for larger version

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I did order that piece and it will take a while to get here and it is definitely the only place you can get that piece from what I've been able to find through searching. I was able to get the flange and the 3 inch valve from Camping World and that was easy and the rest including the elbow coupler and black ABS pipe I was able to get from Lowe's so I was able to make it work although without that special piece that has a rubber o-ring in it I had a little bit of a leak so I used roof seal tape and straps to fix the trip and I think we are golden.Click image for larger version
