Digging up an old thread. I was in the middle of replacing my washer and dryer and found that these valves are now leaking from the spout when shut. and valve handles are STIFF. I have the outdoor faucet type like nuckphoto which are 23 years old and I tried to remove the valve assembly to change the compression washer, but these WOULD NOT BUDGE despite all the soaking.
I wanted to ask HJ - or anyone - Which long shank valves would you recommend? The only two I noticed were mueller and webstone. And how long are the shanks? What I'm thinking is, I have the type of washer box like nuckphoto(with the waste in the middle) but with my box, the valve areas are 1" higher than the bottom of the box(with cover removed). This type: So when I stick these long shanks in, how far from the bottom of the box will they protrude? Will it be far enough from the box to sweat without melting?
Thanks so much.
