Here is another alternative repair, put together by one of our members, Rick Newcomb.

It consists of three 7/16 - 25/32" hose clamps; 1/2" flexible reinforced hose; 1/2" x 1/2" shark bite connectors; 1/2" male hose stem, brass; straight garden hose valve, plastic.

I replaced the hot water drain down valve and the rear low point drain valve on my TM. Both replacement valve assemblies continue to operate without any leaks.
