I was redoing the blackwater and graywater holding brackets and I noticed a drip leak from my gray water where the pipe goes into the dump valve. I emptied the gray water completely and dried up the joint and you could tell that there was a section that didn't have glue and my moving it around had created a leak. I am not sure what type of pipe they use? I assumed it was PVC so I used a glue brush and forced some PVC glue into the connection. After the glue dried I used some polyurethane sealer around the seam as well. I feel like this is a temporary fix but we are going on a trip and I don't have time to fix it right. I will need to get a new gate valve and pipe. My question is the pipe just PVC that is black? It appears to be about 1 1/2". Can you use regular PVC and just order a dump valve that fits?

I don't see why not. It comes in gray, black and white. It is all PVC. I've seen drain valves that are not glued, because they can have issues, it needs to be replaceable without cutting.

It looked like this one was glued as I couldn't pull it off......my fix may hold....at least it is graywater not black.
