The valve does appear to be light enough to use Mage Hand on, but you will have to get closer to use it. The group is currently around 60 ft away from the ape fight.
"Yes I do know that spell, but I can't be certain that they won't chase it. It is not very strong, it could be retched away quite easily should they attempt to take it. Also I should point out that if the hand ever moves more the 30 feet away from my person, it shall vanish. So I would need to be within very close range something I'm not very interest in doing. As for ranged I do have several spells that have quite a long range, plus my crossbow, if we decide to attack."
Unfortunately, because of the plant coverage and all the movement in the trees, none of you can determine how many of the smaller apes are in the trees.
"Anyone a caster with an illusion spell? Perhaps a diversion sounds from another direction? Or we could all just target the two big ones and hope the little ones scatter. Let’s get this over with.”

"I believe I am the only one here with any magical affinity and... no. No illusion magic. Most of my magic has to do with my element and brute force. Ice and lightning. How about this we wait and watch, weapons at the ready, once one of them kills the other or they happen to see us, then we unload everything into whats left of them. If they try to take it I will run forward and use my mage hand to try and keep it out of their grasp, but I will require protection if I do that."
Penelope looks at the others then shrugs.
"Or I could just start a forest fire and see if that scares them away."
Penelope sneaks a little closer to the group of apes, prepared to run forward and grab the valve with her mage hand should they alert the apes to their presence.
Stone and Penelope sneak up to the clearing where the two large Apes are fighting. The smaller apes are so mesmerized by the fight that none of them take notice of the pair. Jacob and Natasha hang back, ready to fight at a moments notice.
(Everyone cool with their placement?)
The two Apes continue their violent dance. After a few minutes of watching, it becomes clear that neither Ape is actually trying to kill the other. It looks like they are attempting to dominate and humiliate the other, but as of now there is no clear winner.
"Brave lady, try to sneak the valve away from those Apes with your magic while they are busy. If they notice I will jump in and ensure they don't pilfer the valve."

“Wait, wait... how heavy is the valve? Do you perhaps know how to cast Mage Hand, Penelope? You might be able to retrieve it from far away.”

It’s hard to tell since they keep moving through the trees to get a better view of the fight. Make a perception check.

Stone gets his sword and shield ready.
"I agree with Penelope, that we should sneak closer to the fight and be prepared to grab the valve when a victor has emerged."
Without waiting for a response Stone creeps silently to the edge of the clearing.

"Alright then."
Penelope will attempt to use her mage hand to try to slow drag the valve away toward the bushes without drawing the attention of the apes.
