Well at least you will have spare blade valves with the new dual fitting. As I said the hardest part for me (this was years ago) was making sure the four ABS flange bolt holes line up on either side of the 1-1/2 blade valve holes.....and I found that after cutting off the cracked flange I had to cut more of the ABS pipe away and use an ABS coupling to get the new flange to fit where it needed to be next to and parallel to the blade valve. It is so tight (little pipe movement also) I could not bolt the flanges to the blade valve first and then glue it back onto the grey water ABS pipe.....I had to leave the blade valve out to get enough working space to re-glue the new flange in place.....so final flange length and bolt hole orientation are critical to reinserting the blade valve without leaks. Not sure if there is such a thing as a 1-1/2 ABS threaded union (like in gas fitting) instead of having to ABS glue things back together. If there is it might make this repair easier. You have a few seconds of fitting manipulation until the glue sets.....and if you are not correct then it is another redo.....and worst case another new flange required. Practise your procedure dry fitting first. Good luck.
