Ball valve 300mm arm

[XanderHarris]

I have a ball valve with a 300mm arm. 1/2 ones are have a 200mm arm. Not sure whether this one is a 3/4 or inch ball valve.
I have attached a picture

Go by the thread/connection on the outside, is it 1/2" or 3/4"?

I'd leave that alone to be honest and change the washer.

Thanks it would be a bigger washer on this sized valve?

Probably better splitting it down and taking the washer to your merchant/diy chain.

Probably, take it out and if not too bad a condition you can turn it round the other way and refit it. Not a long term solution but would let you source a new one.

Should be a part 2 float valve, you have a part 1. It needs replacing.

Thanks the nut wants cracking abit to turn it square. It's at a bit of an angle so isn't helping matters
