Hi All I just seen these really cool valves great because no metal and very small, like a ball valve can be throttled down. Trying to find out how much?

Kinda neat.. but only available at 1/2". Not sure how many useful applications you could use it for, I have a feeling it might be more expensive than a simple ball valve.

They come in 1/2" and 3/4" they list for $11.00 for 1/2" and $15.00 for the 3/4" not that cheap but nice and compact.

It says on that link that the 3/4" is only for the hose size. The valve is the same. Unless I read it wrong. Still an increase in flow.. which is nice.

But more expensive than a regular ball valve. I wonder how smooth they are to turn.

They are designed for plumbing systems the 3/4" from what i can tell is full size.Also that is list price if you go to whole saler probably cheaper.If any one interested i know a plumber so i can get a price.
I just posted this to let people know they are there and if stuck for space.I tryed to post just picture but couldn't get it LOL.
