For $29 you can get a better replacement unit from Camping World (made by
ShurFlo).  It is different from stock, and requires fabrication of a larger
washer since it requires a smaller opening for mounting.  Also, it has no
provision for a "city water" hookup, so if you have to have that, you need
to rig up something with a "T" fitting and a check valve.  (I never use city
water, since it invariably leaks all over the inside of my cabinet).

Check the archives for a post from me last month for the part number and the
link on the ShurFlo web site for a picture.
