Stanbroil Universal 8-Inch Gas Valve Fireplace Key, Fits 1/4 and 5/16 Turn Ball Valve, Polished Chrome

We have a gas valve that is deep in the wall in a hidden compartment. Lowes and Home Depot did not have Long valve keys like this. This is exactly what we needed.

I have a Acetylene tank that is about 30 inches high with and 5 rim around the top of the tank protecting the valve. My son lost the key. I tried multiple welding supply shops and online to find a replacement. One supply shop told me that these types of tanks are used a lot by the railroads. I spent 9 months searching for a key, and this was a great replacement

This product works great! The key is durable and functional.

Good design---just what I needed. Ordering was a bit of a guess because it wasnt obvious what size bar it would fit onto. It fit onto my 1/4 bar inside, but I didnt see how it could be used if I had needed to fit it onto a 5/16 bar. Length was just right although it wasnt clear in advance what the 3 length referred to: distance inside I had to reach, distance from inside of the key handle (which must remain outside the hole) to the end of the end of the socket, or distance overall.

Works well and has a classic, vintage look.

This fits my fireplace perfectly and seems solid. Dont really need much else. The dark bronze color is a bonus

Great value!

Length is important. I say this, because the other one I purchased didnt quite make it through the moulding thickness and I had to return it for a longer one. This one works fine!

Excellent value.

This gas key fits the valve stem and operates it, but it doesnt fit very tightly at all. My other gas keys are a much better fit. This might be a consequence of the universal design which aims to fit both 1/4 and 5/16 valves. You may want to avoid the floppy fit by buying a valve key thats sized exactly for your valve.
