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.

perfect fit, fast delivery, happy client, thanks Guru
Great site and correct part, be aware that standard shipping takes a really long time and there's no tracking.
Very fast delivery, part was what I needed and worked perfectly.
The information to order the correct part made it easy. Just what I needed to get the unit up and running
My parts took a bit of time to come to our home, but that was to be expected since it is close to Christmas. Anyway, I just installed the new Petcock / Fuel valve along with a new fuel gauge and both are working great. I would recommend this part.
Correct part, fast delivery, excellent website with perfect information and descriptions.
Product was an exact replacement, and to me looks of better quality than the original. Getting it packed and shipped to the US could not have been faster. Site was very easy to use and informative with the proper picture. Very impressive.
would have given it five stars but small filter was broken I think maybe in the post so had to fit it without it. web site was really easy to use
Good packaging. Installed easily. Constructed with better materials than manufacturer original.
