That may not be possible with way valve arranged in upside down U shape?

Supply to and through valve 3/4” looking at picture it does have threaded connections on right side to wind valve on and off.

Guess could put it down the outlet pipe to manifolds? But the female connection would have turn? But the failure rate in decades for most. Unless the valve gets frozen and crack IMO no need to replace the assembly, All that does is drive it bill up down here in sunshine state IMO of course.
