The one I saw was a Micro-mite metering valve. They are pretty costly, but
they are very nice. Incidentally, Neil Frank gets the credit for having
found this valve, altho he did find it by accident. My guess is that the
other letters in the part number refer to how it attaches to the input and
output devices.
