Beananimal Overflow - Ball or Gate Valve?

[Werbo]

In Victoria Blue World, Safari, Andrew Sheret. Van Isle Water closes early on Saturday so I was out of luck.

Order from J&L I guess. Any ideas?

I was thinking van isl water, or I would think Wes tech irrigation on Alfha st. Would be your best bets.
But a Monday wait.
J&l would ship Monday get it tues.

Can you use a smaller diameter drain line to get a cheaper gate vavlue? Full siphon drains a surprising amount of water compared to a partial siphon.

I suspect you can by with a ball value it will just mean a lot more fiddling because of the overshoot scubasteve mentions. I find I need to make tiny adjustments - a few degrees turn on a gate value that requires multiple full turns to fully open or close.

I plan on using a gate valve to dial in the proper flow and a same diameter ball valve in the same line for any shutting off of the drain line, then I never have to worry about resetting my flow.

Tyler, there are a couple people in Van today going to J&L, they might be able to grab one for you.

Thanks for all the responses. Probably gonna order one. I'll have to be sump-less for a couple days. Luckily I have a small bio-load.

Thanks again.

I posted a "hail mary" in the buying forms. If no one has a gate valve in Victoria it looks like I'll have to order one.

Just want to make sure that this will do the trick? I think I want the slip to slip rather than threaded.
Please advise.

I actually put slip-slip unions on either side of my gate valve. That bastard is expensive, so it's getting recycled through many future builds.
