Male fixing - screws into the tank (fuel tank thread inside tank) then seals the O-Ring by tightening the secondary nut. Sometimes this can get broken off in the tank (see advice below). The Male also has a small nut at the top that is thinner than the 2 fixings on the on/off switch plate. Click on option above to see picture.
Female fixing - screws onto the tank (fuel tank thread protrudes from tank) using the large nut on the petcock to attach and seal the O-Ring. The female version had a large wide nut at the top, when undone, shows the tank has threads protruding from the tank. (This can be seen on the home screen of our video below.)

Generator Guru says:
This are a common item to need replacing due to the exposed location of the part. We often hear that something has knocked it, resulting in a leaky, or broken Fuel Tap Petcock.
If you have had a Male Petcock break off with the stem still in the tank, use a pair of needle nose pliers and insert into the stem. Open the pliers up, and unscrew. It should release without damaging the tank. Be careful not to damage the thread on the tank, or you will need to replace the whole tank.

This part is perfect. The generator was in a barn abandoned for several years. The petcock was the major problem but it's working nicely. Thank you, Generator Guru.
Exactly what I needed after someone broke the old one off in the tank.
as described, delivered on time, no issues or concerns, would highly recommend
Works great

I have been looking everywhere for parts for my generator without any success until I found Generator Guru. They have everything you at a reasonable price and shipping is fast. Customer service is absolutely first class.
it was an exact replacement and worked fine. I have ordered other parts from generatorguru and all have worked fine. I will definitely use them for future needs.
The product that was ordered was the part that I ordered. The part fit and worked as expected. The website was also very good and well laid out. The ordering process was good as well. I will recommend this site to anyone that needs parts for their home generator.
FIT PERFECT!!!!
