Too many things going on to bother listing them.

No problem, Bill. Just wanted to ensure that seal killer didn't order it so he'd have yet another valve that was troublesome to hook up.

When I come to problems like this and sourcing the right part is a problem or it takes too much of an effort, I am quick to go the route of using the machines I have to thread, rethread, turn, bore out or silver solder the pieces together.
As a matter of fact, I was in a similar predicament 20 minutes ago. Needed to join two 1/2" copper pipes with a flex link. This time I found all the pieces at Home Depot, an historical event.
