If your 72 has straight 3/4 threads you have lots of choices. If your tank is old enough to have NGT threads (National Gas Tight, tapered threads often mistaken for "pipe threads") the choices in valves narrows.

You do not need to pull the valve to know which threads are on your valve you have.

Can you see threads?

Yes 1/2" NGT threads - http://www.leisurepro.com/p-xsspvn/xs-scuba-pro-valve-with-1-2-npt-threads

No 3/4" NPSM threads - As said above lots of choices

so I can't see any threads picture attached just to confirm.

If i were to purchase one of these would i choose lp steel? It looks like that would be a tapered thread compared to the picture of the aluminium tank version....

XS Scuba Pro Valve

There was also 1/2" NPSM valves, but I have not seen many, so you might wait to pull the valve before you order another.

I was going to mention that as well but the chances are slim.

That said for the OP your valves are 3/4" straight thread. So just get whatever valve that suit your fancy. Just make sure it has a burst disk that is rated for 2250 psi (or 2400psi).
