0360101 Petcock, 16-39 early style

For those working on a period-correct restoration, this Samwel nickel-plated petcock is an authentic reproduction of the original 3601-16 valve used on various Harley-Davidson models from 1916 to 1939. It features a 1/8"-27 NPT fitting for the gas tank side and a 1/2"-24 NPT fitting for the fuel line. While it looks the part perfectly, it is important to remember that this is an early antique design. By modern standards, it can be difficult to get a perfect seal and may have a tendency to leak. Experienced builders often use valve grinding paste or fine toothpaste to lap the surfaces, followed by a coating of grease to achieve the best possible seal. Because of its historical design limitations, this petcock is sold without a warranty.
