494768 698183 Fuel Shut Off Valve + 1/4" x 25" Fuel Line Hose with 4 Clamps Lawn Mower Compatible With 5414K 283207 791850 Small Engine (Line Straight)

What It Is

This is a complete fuel shut-off valve and line kit for small engines—includes a straight-style valve, 25 inches of 1/4-inch fuel hose, and four clamps. It’s used to stop fuel flow during storage or transport on lawn mowers, tractors, generators, and other small equipment.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these three things:

• Hose inner diameter: Must be 1/4 inch (6.35 mm). Measure your existing hose or the barb on your carburetor/fuel tank. This line is not for 5/16" or 3/16" systems.
• Valve type: This is a straight valve (not 90°). Ensure your routing doesn’t require a right-angle turn at the tank or carburetor.
• Common OEM part numbers: This kit replaces 494768, 698183, 5414K, 283207, 791850. It’s an aftermarket kit, so verify your original part number matches one of these. Fits many Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, MTD, and Toro models—but always confirm your specific engine model number.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is simple: No special tools needed. Cut the hose to length, slide clamps over each end, push hose onto valve barbs and tank/carb fittings, then tighten clamps with a screwdriver.
• Quality is adequate for the price: The valve is plastic, not brass. It works fine for occasional use but may not last as long as OEM metal valves in constant-use commercial mowers.
• Check fuel line condition: If your old hose is cracked or stiff, replace it entirely. This kit gives you enough line for most walk-behind mowers.
• Clamps are included: No need to buy separate clamps. They’re standard screw-type, so keep a flathead or nut driver handy.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, cheap fix for a leaky shut-off valve or brittle fuel line on a residential lawn mower or small engine, this kit is a solid value. It’s not built for heavy commercial use, but for $8 it’ll get your mower running and stored properly. Avoid if you need a brass valve or a specific OEM fit.
