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.

Your web site was very easy to use and the part that you shipped was exactly as described. I expect it is even a better design than the original because there is a hex on the bottom of the valve to hold it with a wrench while installing the valve. The white metal on the original I think was damaged in installation at the time of manufacture. The person who assited me was very helpful and understood the details of the device.
From a ropey description by me, the online guru (Jane) found the product I wanted which, when ordered, turned up very quickly and was perfect. My only query is the pricing: this started at £19.01 but ended up around £28 when the posting and VAT were added. Hmmmm. Good, though!!!!!!!!!!!!
The part needed was difficult to identify so I sent generator guru the broken one. Got a new one by return - can't beat that can you?
Very fast delivery good product. Excelellent service will definatly be a return customer.
The part was delivered during the expected time frame. Will instal this weekend before hurricane season.
I found the Guru on the net.I explained to him the problem and he said that the repair was quite simple.This was music to my ears as other people that I had contacted said that it was not possible to repair as the Generator had been made in China. RUBBISH!! ask the Guru he made it all happen and helped me no end.Great service and I shall promote this company whenever I can.
In addition to the above, the parts arrived in fine form from the UK to Arkansas.
