Can't advise directly. I expect you would need to get the matching heater hoses. Depending on where your existing valve started leaking, it might be rebuildable. The valves are made by Ranco and Balkamp makes replacement seals.

Rebuild details are on Ron K's site

Or, since the 679480 valve seems to have really departed from production, figure out how you can do a sanitary installation of one of these

You can find similar valves just by themselves for less than $20. I have seen them installed inside the engine compartment on a 140; but, the valve was fitted in by using big loops of heater hose to get it connected and it looked a proper bodge. Show us the way on how to do a sanitary installation.
