Re: Flow through fry boxes

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

I believe those are the same valves and that is a very good price. I do 
find it confusing that they talk about putting 1/4" tubing on them. I think 
those barbs take standard airline tubing, right?

Also, those interested make sure you order the thread/barb type, and you 
will need a tap to thread the PVC pipe into which you intend to insert them.
