Description
This is a valve handle cap for a Gilmour brass ¼-turn water manifold (2-way, 4-way) outfitted with the wing-style handles (as opposed to arm-style handles). See pictures.
The original brass handle can be difficult to turn, especially with any build-up of corrosion. This cap fits tightly over the original brass handle and provides a larger handle surface for easier operation.
It does not interfere with the operation of surrounding handles but, due to its size, doesn't afford fitting of a same cover on an adjacent handle. It fits snugly enough to stay on the valve handle but is easy enough to remove allowing it to be moved to other handles.
Print upright (user-facing handle on top) with supports at whatever quality level you prefer. ASA/ABS is recommended both due to outdoor temperatures and for flexibility to make a snug fit.
