One of my rental properties has a leaking shutoff valve for the Evaporative Cooler. Instead of the typical 1/4" valves, whoever plumbed this place used what looks like an old single handle shower valve.
It's a long stem valve inside a long brass body. Instead of having a packing nut that I can use a regular wrench on, this has some kind of internal nut/cartidge that looks almost like a Moen cartridge. The type that uses a tool that looks like a pipe with a large slot cut in the end.
However, because of the long stem none of the Moen tools I've seen will fit on it, and it looks like it uses smaller "ears" that the Moen tool.
Any idea where to find the tool I need for servicing this, or at least what the name of the tool (or valve) would be so I can google it?
Thanks in advance.
