I need to re-pack a sillcock, and the interior shutoff valve for it
is
missing its handle. I took a look at the shaft, and instead of
being
square, it's round with two flats at 90 degrees forming a corner.
The
cross-section looks a bit like a squashed ice cream cone.

I've spent a lot of time rummaging around on-line, and all I can
find
are various sized square shank handles. At one time, somebody made
a
"universal" valve handle that used a disk with a variety of holes
that
you could rotate to the center. I don't recall if it had an
appropraite
shaped hole, but I can't seem to find one of those anywhere either.

I found one "universal" handle that is just three large setscrews
("Mandle") that might work, but I suspect it will mostly just bugger
up
the shaft.

Adjust the universal handle to a slip tight fit and use some JB weld
in the bond. Iffen it works, it works. Iffen it don't the hard JB weld
should be easy to clean off the valve stem.
