What is this Tap Valve?

[quarkrad]

I would appreciate any help in identifying this tap valve. The internal thread is 3/4” and it is ¼ turn on/off. My main problem is that it had a square head to the shaft rather than the normal spline.

perhaps it was a lever-action tap (surgeon's tap) with a ceramic cartridge.

Why do you ask?

Did you see the tap it came out of?

This is similar, don't know if it is exactly the same though http://www.shop.lunns.net/black-bas...idge-cw-square-carrier-pair-hc22-253081-p.asp

My guess would be that is an adaptor pressed on to the spline otherwise it would never have passed through the stuffing box on the tap body.
