fit my generator properly

I ordered this replacement petcock for a Hyundai HD3500 generator, I purchased cheap, to replace the original which was completely clogged. This does seem more light weight and flimsy compared to the original petcock. However, I was able to install this and had no problems with fuel leaking. The handle turns fine, and I think that I will just have to take care with how I turn it on and off. I used PTFE on the threads coming out of the fuel tank and an adjustable wrench to tighten this on. I did not over tighten it, just snugged it up. On the initial installation, there was no fuel leaking from the threads or around the nut. The petcock appears to be working fine, and hopefully it will last.

Sent to my brother, he said quality was good, easy to install, fit perfect.

Identical to original in form and fit. I hope it lasts longer than the original. For $10 it's worth keeping a spare. Losing an engine to a $10 solution would suck. 4 of 5 rating because I don't have performance over time experience.

Worked good

5 stars for fit, it is the same unit as the OEM petcock and is the same (No stars) lack of quality. This (made off shore) fuel petcock fit the (made off shore) Irwindale Industrial IG7800, 7,800 Watt (supposed) Inverter Generator ( believe this generator is marketed under different names). I had to change the original petcock because when I was removing the fuel line to drain the fuel tank, the paper thin zinc casting (or what ever flimsy metal is used) fuel line nipple snapped off in my fingers, so be very careful when removing or replacing the fuel line on the petcock as this replacement petcock is the same as the OEM petcock. This generator when set on 240V, and when under no load or a light load produced very different voltages on each hot leg, when under heavy load (240 well pump) the voltages would even out, but when wired in to the electrical panel it burned out several 120V products that happened to be on the hot leg with higher voltage. You get what you pay for, I'm not glad that I borrowed this generator (that’s what I get for borrowing) but I am glade (and I learned the hard way), it is better to pay up for a guality (real) inverter generator.

Put on moped- 1 year down no issues.

Replaced my original shutoff valve with this one because the handle on the original one broke and also the packing dry rotted and it leaked. I suspect this one will last at least as long as the original. Quality is typical for this part. While it could be made better, there is no better quality in this style of valve used in most generators that use low quality Chinese parts for the fuel supply. Good news is the cost is low and you don't have to use it often so it should last awhile and the cost won't break the bank when you need to replace it. Replacement is easy by the way.
