Aftermarket sediment bowl valve

[staninlowerAL]

Here another alternative to fitting an aftermarket valve with a quick open valve using hardware store parts. The brass street ell is a 1/4 flare tubing x 1/8 female npt. Rethread the male threads of the street ell with a 7/16 x 20 nf bolt thread die nut and run same 7/16 nf bottom tap into the fuel valve discharge opening, clean up the threads and everything should screw together and connect to the carb using 5/16 OD steel tubing (brake line) via a 1/8 npt male x 5/16 compression adapter.

Update on this topic--the sediment bowl housing fitting that was threaded with the 7/16x20 bolt thread tap was not strong enough to withstand the force of the tap and the metal cracked slightly. The tubing fitting that I used appears to be slightly larger than the bolt thread tap. I changed the fitting to 1/8 npt male pipe and the tubing threads on a different one fit a bit loose. I used paste pipe thread sealer and it worked better. Sorry if the first post caused any problem for anyone. Stan

One more update, I visited my local NAPA store today and we determined that the outlet ports on the valve are 1/4 brake line tubing and has a female thread fitting which accepts a reverse flare male thread nut that is 7/16 x 24. A 1/8 npt male pipe thread fitting will screw into the valve fitting but will not tighten until it bottoms out so my fix is to use a properly sized nitrile o-ring in the valve fitting and thread sealer on male ipt pipe threads. After assembly and properly cured, it provides a nicely finished and properly functioning connection. Stan

Update. BTW, I picked up a replacement screen (which has the offset fuel inlet opening) and gasket at the local TSC store for about $8.50. Stan
