Universal Parts Manual Fuel Valve Petcock: M10x1.25
Description
Reliable Fuel Control: Universal Manual Shut-Off Valve
Take full control of your fuel flow with the Universal Parts Manual Fuel Valve. Designed as a robust alternative to temperamental vacuum-style petcocks, this manual valve features a threaded M10x1.25 male mount. It is the go-to solution for vintage mopeds, small-displacement motorcycles, and custom motorized bike builds where a simple "On/Off" lever is required to prevent carburetor flooding and fuel leaks during storage.
Technical Performance Features
- Precision M10x1.25 Thread: Features a standard metric male thread for a secure, leak-free connection to integrated tank bungs or fuel manifolds.
- Internal Micron Screen: Includes a built-in fuel strainer to capture sediment and debris before it reaches your carburetor, protecting your engine from clogs.
- Smooth Lever Action: The ergonomic shut-off lever provides a tactile "click" into position, ensuring you can easily verify your fuel status even with riding gloves on.
- Durable Zinc-Alloy Body: Constructed from fuel-resistant alloys designed to withstand long-term exposure to modern ethanol-blended gasoline without corroding or seizing.

Mechanic's Note: When installing, do not over-tighten the threaded mount into the fuel tank, as this can crush the internal gasket or strip the tank bungs. Always use a small amount of fuel-resistant thread sealant or a fresh crush washer to ensure a vapor-tight seal. We recommend pairing this valve with a Clear Inline Fuel Filter for maximum protection against tank rust.
