Perfect fit - quick repair
The original part had started to weep and I was concerned that the plastic body would soon split under pressure. (Months ago I'd experienced a failure of a toilet tank connection when the plastic nut had failed - a disaster!) This replacement went very easily. Good price too.

Easy repair, part worked but wasn't the cause of my issues
I changed this first, as it seemed my pressure switch was working fine. When I blew into the pressure switch it seemed to activate the correct contacts. I changed this but my washer still wasn't working F-20. I ended up getting a pressure switch and that solved my problem. I also replaced the pressure switch rubber hose just to be sure, some people seem to get holes in theirs but mine was fine.

stripped the threads on the water inlet
Be careful threading the hose to the water inlet or you
can end up cross threading or stripping the threads, they are plastic and can easily be stripped.
It will save you time and $.
Unscrew the top of the washer and remove it. Removed a weirdo screw with a pair of pliers since I didn't have the tool to remove it.
Took out the old one and replaced it with the new one. Replaced the weirdo screw with a drywall screw and screwed it in place. Carefully threaded the hoses on and turned on the water. Success!
