Hello, We recently replaced the gas valve [which we purchased from you :) ], and in removing the old one, damaged some threads of the regulator :eek: , which sets next to it. The 2 parts were so tightly screwed to each other that the unscrewing of them must've caused damage to the threads inside the regulator :( [the regulator has 2 "female" screw-in parts, one on each end.] But we can't buy a new regulator because it's no longer available (we can't find it on your site or other sites. Nor can we find it at our local stores.) :mad: So, can we fix the regulator so that the leaking stops--tape? a filler? something else? We're trying to avoid buying a new (wall) oven. Thanks.

Looks like a standard regulator to me. Can you provide the size of the inlet and the outlet ports? Need to know whether each is 1/2" or 3/4".

They're both 1/2 inch. The problem with buying another is that the dimensions of new ones are bigger, and they're the wrong shape:square-ish. Ours is 2 1/4 d x 2 5/8 w; the sides are vertical and the top/botton are arched. I think only this particular size/shape will work. We tried a newer, square-ish one and it's too big. Seems like if we can't figure out how to seal the 2 parts (gas valve & regulator), we'll have to bake "luau" style: in the ground with hot rocks! :eek: (Our cabinet is on the small side; that's why we bought this particular oven--it was the only one that fit the cabinet--and that was 15 years ago!) Oh, I learned that the part number for the regulator we need, may be: 5303934073. Hope you have a fix for us; but, I'm doubtful. :confused:
