Re: Mystery valve help needed
Take the valve off and take it to the store with you. Drop it on the counter
and say, "I need one of these." The guy will disappear to the back of the
store for a few minutes, when he returns he will have a part. Make sure the
part looks like the one you brought into the store. Take the part home and
hook it up.
Have a beer and admire your repair.
