Review on Suburban 161200 Stove Burner Valve by Victor Ceja

I was unable to find a replacement top burner valve for my old Suburban SD-2 range, P/N 161142 A valve fits with a simple modification my old stove The significant difference between the two valves is that the on/off button stem of the new valve is approximately 1/2 inch longer than the old valve and projects slightly higher than the high end of the range. The rest of the valve looked a little different, but the dimensions were the same and it was attached the same way as the old valve. I was able to easily trim off the excess shaft length with a hacksaw by eye. (Do this before you screw on the new valve) Shortened the stem just right and everything worked great. Before installing the burner, be sure to remove the short black plastic tube from the old valve's fitting end and fit it onto the new valve's fitting end. centers the hole right in the middle of the burner tube.
