In town at Wai's for the bulkheads. Western pump (1143 42 Ave SE) for the gatevalve. Might I suggest a ball valve? What is it for?

Its for a skimmer and i think im goin to go with a ball valve. You wouldnt happen to know what it costs a wais would you. I think big als sell them for 17 or so.

If its for a skimmer, I think I would use a gate valve. You have much finer control with a gate valve.

Im just goin off what canadian man has goin. He has a ball valve and his skimmer looks like its workin pretty well.

The ball valve I am using is a 1.5 " from Western pump. There is no restriction when turning the ball valve which is why I use it. Most Ball valves take some effort to move which could make them difficult to use.

Mine works great though! :biggrin:

Generally ball valves work better in the long term then gate valves in saltwater from what I have heard. I personally have not used gate valves so I really base this on hear say...thats my disclaimer.

Edit: Those J & L bulkheads do look good anyone have them? I like the feature you need less wall space behind your tank for them.
