WTB Header valve

[Last Mohecian]

Looking for a deal on a used header water control valve.  I want something that looks a little nicer that a ball valve from Home Depot.  I want one like this.  Anyone got one laying around?

I saw that one on PB.  It just looks like a chrome HD style ball valve.  Those fuel cutoffs look interesting but I think they are too small.  I'll search ebay for a larger one.  Thanks for the idea.  If anyone has one of the style like in the pic they want to sell I'd rather have one of those.

This looks like a nice piece.

What size ports does yours have ? 3/4" seems really big for header water lines ?

I'd have to go look.  I know the fitting on the intake is 3/4 NPT.  Pretty sure that goes to 5/8 heater hose that feeds the bassett T.

Well i can tell ya it works good! :smile17:

 

[spd500]

Yeah , but what size actually goes into the header lines ? Those are alot smaller than 3/4 , or even 1/2 if I remeber correctly .

Off the top of your head do you know what size the threads are on it?

 

[Last Mohecian]

Yeah , but what size actually goes into the header lines ? Those are alot smaller than 3/4 , or even 1/2 if I remeber correctly .

The fittings on the inlet of the header lines are -8 AN I believe.

I figured they did.  Your boat budget is a little bigger than mine.  LOL.  Do you run a "T" valve after the manual valve or just the manual valve?

 

[spd500]

So the 8an is like 1/2 , or 3/8 ? Dont remeber ?

 

[spd500]

Same size into the tee also , isn't it ?

Same size into the tee also , isn't it ?

Yeah.  Now that I think about it it's probably closer to -10 or -12.
