The shaft also carries Piston Assembly 27-3241 molded into it, which is the quickest way to confirm a match against the part already in the valve. The listing is sold as 273241Z and the source material also shows the number as 273241; both point at this same assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it wears\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piston rod is the moving part of a push pull valve, stroking up and down every time the valve is operated.
