Will that also work for a standard valve?

Nope. Axial (Thayer) Valves are different animals from regular rotors.
If you search on the Osmun Brass site you should be able to find maintenance instructions on a rotary valve, including restringing if you have one that uses a string. Bob Osmun is a horn player and is quite familiar with rotary valves.

I heard that they no longer recommend that Teflon coating stuff.. just oil for the valve!
