XrayGuy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I am getting pretty frustrated with trying to find one of these dang things. Nobody carries them or claims to even have ever seen one...Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, Ferguson, Grover...ugh! If anyone has one I can buy or knows of anywhere LOCALLY that I can get one, please let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you want a gate valve or you wouldn't have asked but these Tru Union ball valves from Lowes, I have on all my tanks and they turn easily, not like the greater majority of ball valves that you need a hammer to get started moving. I presume you have something that requires the fine tuning of a gate, if not this are the best Ive ever found-and inexpensive http://www.lowes.com/pd_108956-33599-P200U-40+1_0__?productId=3354628&Ntt=american+valve+pvc+1%5C%22&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Damerican%2Bvalve%2Bpvc%2B1%255C%2522&facetInfo= AMERICAN VALVE 1-in PVC Sch 40 Socket In-Line Ball Valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am building a tank similar to vanz and going to do the Herbie overflow, so that is why I wanted the gate valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although easier than other ball valves, I still find it difficult to fine tune. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish2 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I run a herbie overflow and would recommend the gate valve, but I've never used the ball valves mentioned above. I had the hardest time finding a gate valve near Corvallis. I ended up getting mine on-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssappington Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've got one! (1" gate valve) it's the BRS economy model... never used... $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Oh' date=' and I too think gate valves are the only way to go on a herbie....[/quote'] I'd agree, I have the bean animal but same idea and I to use a gate valve-granted the valve is open 100% but if I wanted to adjust it I could, I have the one pictured on the other down pipe and that one I have reduced. stick with the gate valve but I'd add a union vs straight glue, I've got unions on every section of PVC, I got way tired over the years of cutting the pipe and than having to add a coupler when I should have just added a union. you never now when you need to "remove" something.
