broken cap on steam valves

Hi guys,



I have 2 leaky steam valves. These are right angle valves. the cap on the top (where the handle goes into the valve) is broken - the brass compression nut has spit the top off, letting steam and water into the room.



Where the heck do I find new brass compression caps? These seem to have a 1/2" flare thread. See the image - for the part I'm looking for. Other than these broken caps, the valves are fine.

    valve

     If you can find the same brand valve you can loosen the bonnet on the old valve, remove the disc and stem assy. and replace it with disc stem and handle  from new valve.  Or just replace the valve.    I  dont recommend this as a homeowner type job
