I wonder if you couldn't remove the internal valve "guts" since it looks like it's attached by a couple of screws under the knob and if the barrel assembly is only metal then you could silver solder the fitting on instead of using JB Weld. I'm assuming the internals are some sort of needle valve with maybe an "O" for shutting off or sealing the rotating shaft and if you could remove that then heating the body shouldn't compromise anything. Nothing wrong with JB Weld, but I just like something a little more permanent and secure and am a solder type anyway.:B
