Oops. I did file it off. Now it slides completely through. I wish I'd known that's how it was supposed to work.

Dad has an extra valve body at the house that Should have that piece intact that I can grab.

If I did install it the way it is now, I'm guessing it would get stuck? Possibly too low line pressure?
