I originally posted this on Thingiverse back in 2013 after I sketched one up to get me out of a tight spot. See https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:166965
I've slightly amended the design here so it should be a better print. There is a small support column added under the screw recess overhang. There's an airgap of 0.3mm, so it should pop right out. If you would rather add your own support, remember to split the model and delete the column in your slicer.
I printed 100% infill in ABS (really didn't want it snapping if any leaks appeared!)
I've only used this print for the cold water valve. I'm unsure how long it would last on a hot water valve, especially in PLA.
I can now add that it still worked after 3 years, but I have since then moved house. I hope for the new owner it's still holding up!
