Did not fit.
The square peg fits in the square hole. What do you do if the squares are different sizes? I could have used the old handle, which was not broke, I just needed the new screw which would have not been the right length if you had supplied it.

I have had my pressure cooker for 47 years and the bottom handle was shot...probably from bearing the brunt of the weight of the cooker plus food for so many years.

I checked the model number and found both the upper and lower handles were still available. I ordered a new sealing ring and automatic air vent, since it had been years since I replaced those. The worst part of the repair was unscrewing the handles. I sprayed on a lubricant and fortunately, my husband was able to unscrew both handles. The replacement parts arrived quickly and doing the repair was a piece of cake. The bottom handle doesn't fit as securely as I would like, but I can't seem to screw the handle on any tighter. It is tight enough that I feel it won't be a problem. I love this pressure cooker and I am thrilled with the results!!!

Removal and replacement was easy. Just follow the enclosed instruction. I cleaned up the pressure cooker after the handle, vent pipe and ring(along with safety value) were removed. The pressure cooker should last another 44 years. The booklets that were purchased were to replace lost/missing booklets.

Now her pressure cooker is as good as new. The body handle had deteriorated, with a Phillips head screw driver, I removed the old one and replaced with a new one. Before replacing the whole body was thoroughly cleaned. The cover was thoroughly cleaned and the new sealing ring was installed.
