    And, even if it's not, pry the damn thing off and replace it with something easier to get into. They're pretty cheap.

    Can't find a Toro part

    Well, I get to answer my own question. I saw some vague references to Lawn Genie being owned by Toro during my internet search. So, on a hunch, I went to the Home Depot and found a Lawn Genie valve that was identical except in color to the valve I have. And, this one, they had a replacement...

    Extra valves after re-pipe

    My home was recently re-piped and the contractor installed an extra set of angle-stops under the kitchen sink. They didn't tell me they were going to and I didn't request them.
