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.

Exactly the part I needed for my generator. Thanks
The perfect replacement part after I order the wrong one. Now I need a replacement fuel hose to replace the brittle one. Those guys knows what you need and if they recommend it please listen to there advise. Thanks generatorguru! You guys are the best! I will recommend them to my friends for sure.
Will continue to give you guys business, thanks for help keeping my power on the past 2 winters and this one to come!
Both delivered promptly very happy with products . Fitted and ran perfectly.
Easy to fit. Get fuel line too as old fuel line degraded and split when swapping to new petcock. It was old and with their kit i fitted a filter too.

This valve fit perfect and worked perfect, no more drips. These people are GREAT go deal with and I will use them again for future needs.
