I picked up one from Harpers for $36. It looks just like the original,
unless the previous owner had replaced the original petcocks, then I
couldn't tell you if they are like the original. They have a square
metal body with round arm. Believe they are brass colored with silver
coating on the arm.

| On a related note from my last post, what is the collective wisdom on the original petcocks? One of mine leaks a little. I pulled it apart and the rubber gasket is starting to tear around one of the holes. Is everyone replacing with newer style ones? Ordering the three hole gasket from MI that I hear sort of works or works for a while? Finding a sheet of Viton (or similar) and punching out new gaskets? Or finding a set of used ones that may or may not leak and spending large amounts of money on them? Thanks, Rich |
