Put a spot of anti-seize on the threads and rusting of the threads will not be a problem.

Why would the shut off valve need to be DOT approved. The ones people are using today are not DOT approved. They are hardware store items.

The one case I saw of this, the same exact thing happened. I had fun getting the broken piece out. That is the main reason I would never use shutoff valves to cover up an air suspension problem. I would just fix what is broken in the air system and be done with it. I do carry two spare schrader valves for an emergency. I have never needed to use them.
