[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 55682, member: 751"] The valve is like a standard pin valve.Screw in for off and screw out for on/open.Here is what I found out.The stem or shaft was threaded into the valve body,then a rubber seal was added to the stem/shaft with lubricant.Next the valve was placed into a fixture/jig and pressed to seal the stem/shaft into the body.Then the outside was threaded for securing to a mount with a nut and lock washer.I think I have found a new valve.I will be calling to order it tomorrow.I'm hoping it's the same but with the ability to remove the stem/shaft to replace the O ring seal.Thanks for all the help.I understand what you mean by double threads.Once the shaft is backed out as far as it can go,then a threaded insert backs out revealing the valves inner workings.Unfortunately,this valve isn't made that way.If it was I could machine a new brass stem/shaft.
