    Well, my handle was not with it and it's too cold to look for it.  The hole for the handle is 9/16 diameter (actual .570) by 1 1/4 deep.  The pins on the valve are 5/32 dia and go thru a 9/32 rod.  So a 3/16 slot with a 5/16 hole for the shaft would work good.  If your handle were a foot long, it would work fine.  The label, Paul Schuster aka Paul LARGETYPE email xxxHUDSON1957@AOL.COM (drop the xxx) is 2 x 3,1/2 inches and is positioned 1, 1/2 inches below the handle.  You can just see my old one.
