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.

part came as advertised
The part was the perfect replacement for a broken fuel petcock on my generator. I had the kind where the male end screws into the base of the fuel tank and the old one had snapped off leaving a remnant stuck in the tank. It was a major ordeal getting that out (unfortunately was not an easy twist with a needle nose pliers as stated) that ended up involving a drill and tap. Generator Guru is the only place I found that sells this part.
Exactly what I needed and in a short period of time. Thanks
everything fit great ...thanks
excellent
The shipping was fantastic.
I purchased this valve to replace a leaking one in my generator. I do not know its quality - the original one failed, prematurely, in my opinion. I was impressed with Generator Guru - this is the only company I found that carried the valve I needed, purchase went very smoothly, and the product was received very quickly. The replacement valve functions as intended. Ten stars for Generator Guru!
The part arrived in good condition. Thanks for the good service.
I received this replacement part in good condition. It was an exact replacement product. I phoned in my order and received it in a timely manner.
