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.

Exact fit replacement
Great product and great service. Can't ask more!!
the item was no problem to install...perfect
it was exactly what I needed to put my generator back in business. It arrived much quicker than I expected. Guru followed up to make sure that the part arrived. I am overwhelmed with the service and that makes the price acceptable. Pictures provided for ordering purposes made me feel comfortable that I would receive the right part. Overall it was an excellent experience in a time when service doesn't seem to matter to a lot of businesses.
Great quality. Exact Match.
The new petcock went in easy chessie and work fabulously.
