Review on Watts 1/2-Inch 2T-M2 Brass & Tubular Washing Machine Hot Water Shut-Off Valve - Improved SEO by Mike Rice

My existing Oatey valve was leaking at the on/off lever. I've read that it can be fixed by replacing the o-rings, but figured it would be safer to replace the entire unit. With the top bolts removed, I was able to easily replace the existing Oatey valve. Two things to note: 1) You will need thicker o-rings to use this valve over existing stems. Obtain size #12 13/16 OD x 5/8 ID x 3/32 O-rings. 2) The pan head screws on top are a beast. I've found that using a vise to cut in the screw makes it easier to remove.
