2023 TBR7 Petcock replacement question

Hey. The petcock on my tbr7 started leaking some gas today. Went to tighten and just poured out everywhere. Took some rough measurements. The nut connecting the tank to the petcock was a 22mm. Used an adjustable wrench to find the actual threaded portion was 16mm. When looking, do I search for a 16mm petcock? Not entirely sure, so I figured I should probably ask yall.


UPDATE: New petcock went on easily. Did mount it slightly sideways to prevent the fuel line from getting close to the top end (fuel outlet was on the left side compared to the right). For those that may want a link to an option without a reserve feature. I found it on amazon. The link is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XVS3FXW

Direct replacement is kind of expensive

Maybe a generic will work and save you $15 or more
search TBR7 petcock. Lots of potential parts from ebay, Amazon others with a similar looking connection

Ohh I gotcha. Preciate you a lot. Found one that was only $8 on amazon. Also did double check and it was 16mm and not 15mm. Dunno how to edit my previous post though lol

A while back, I had a little issue with my TBR7 suddenly wanting to spit, and I made the mistake of removing the little bowl on the bottom of the petcock with pliers, not knowing how thin, and soft it was. I developed a little leak from a pin hole caused by the teeth on the pliers, and ended up ordering this one from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08PK...b_b_asin_title
