494539 698181 Fuel Shut Off Valve + 1/4" x 25" Fuel Line Hose with 4 Clamps Lawn Mower Compatible With 5414K 283207 791850 Small Engine (90 Degree)

What It Is

This is a replacement fuel shut-off valve kit (part numbers 494539, 698181) paired with a 25-inch length of 1/4-inch fuel line and four clamps. Designed for small engines (lawn mowers, tractors, generators) needing a 90-degree shut-off valve and standard 1/4-inch ID fuel hose.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Valve dimensions: 90-degree shut-off; inlet/outlet fit 1/4-inch ID fuel line. Check your existing valve shape—straight vs. 90-degree—to ensure clearance.
• Hose: 1/4-inch ID (inner diameter) x 25 inches. Measure your old hose length; 25 inches is common for walk-behind mowers and small tractors, but longer runs may need splicing.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces Briggs & Stratton 5414K, 283207, 791850, and similar. Not a direct OEM part—aftermarket quality. Verify your engine brand/model (e.g., Briggs, Tecumseh, Honda) and valve orientation.
• Deck size: Not deck-specific; fits any small engine with a 1/4-inch fuel line and compatible valve mount.
• What to measure: Old valve stem diameter (should be ~1/4-inch), hose ID, and overall length. Confirm the valve has the correct thread or barb type for your tank/filter.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy (basic hand tools: pliers, screwdriver). Expect 15–30 minutes if replacing old hose and valve. Cut hose to exact length with a sharp knife.
• Quality: Valve is plastic, hose is standard rubber. Adequate for low-pressure gravity-fed systems. Not for high-pressure or ethanol-heavy fuels long-term—hose may harden over time.
• Common gotcha: The included clamps are screw-type; ensure they’re tight but not overtightened to avoid cutting the hose. Valve may be slightly stiff when new—cycle it a few times.
• No filter: This is just shut-off valve and hose; add an inline fuel filter if your engine requires one (check your setup).

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a quick, budget-friendly replacement for a worn or broken 90-degree shut-off valve and a standard 1/4-inch fuel line on a small engine. It’s a solid value for walk-behind mowers or generators where OEM parts aren’t critical. Skip it if you need a high-pressure system, ethanol-resistant hose, or a straight valve—verify fitment first.
