    Spa Valve Identification

    I have an older spa and Im trying to identify this valve. Its from a Coleman/Maxx spa and it goes to the neck jets I believe. I'm not sure if I can just buy the top portion or do I need to replace the entire fitting. I just cant tell if the internal piece is missing or its broken off.
