Replacement Stop Cock Valve Recommendation for 1/4 inch Fitting

Question:

I dont know how to measure to be sure I get the right stop cock replacement for the 25 year old rusted/corroded piece. The hex head is 9/16, the brass threads are roughly 1/2, the plunger stem is roughly 3/8, and the girl at a local hardware store looked at it and said I needed a 1/4inch piece??? Thanks.

If you do indeed need a 1/4 inch drain valve the part # CAM11663 would be the correct one for you.

I went out into our warehouse to measure this and found that the larger threads are 5/8 in diameter, the hex head is 3/4 of an inch wide, the smaller second set of threads is 1/2 inch in diameter and the threads are 9/16 inches wide.

With the outside fitting removed from this it should work for you.
