Re: Valve Source

[Barry Cooper <bjc3 at cornell_edu>]

I recommend the AWV1TB valve as listed on the Jehmco site. They are a ball 
valve. I would avoid metal valves in a water distribution system and I 
would avoid needle valves. The latter tend to block up too quickly and 
require frequent adjustment.
