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.

Was a little tight to put on and didn't swivel so that on/of was where it needed to be exactly, but will work just fine, worth what it cost for sure! Generator Guru says: Fit the petcock tight, and then loosen so the on/off switch is in the correct place, then tighten the securing nut at the top. This will keep it facing in the right direction.

I purchased this fuel cut off for my neighbor. He had found another vendor with a higher price but the part was on backorder. When I located Generator Guru on a web search we were both uncertain about ordering from the UK. We have been very pleased with our decision to place this order. The part was delivered well within the quoted delivery time and in excellent condition. The part is better than the original that was on the generator and fit perfectly. The price and shipping cost were acceptable considering the limited vendor choice. We would both deal with Generator Guru again.
