I got tired of crawling under our 3150 to get to the galley valve. So not wanting to invest in an electric valve. I went to ACE Hardware and bought a sprinkler system key. They come in a couple of lengths. I got the long one, about 3' long. It has a fork on the end opposite the handle. I put the forked end in the vise and bent it 90 degrees from straight.
I marked the skirt of the Monty with a piece of red tape about an inch long to make locating the valve easier. The forked end of the key slips over the Tee-Handle of the valve and I can pull the valve out without crawling under the Monty. You can use the key to also push the valve back in.
The key also works with the slide out.
