Re: Valve Source



I think our comments were in response to a question from John Alegre about building a flow through system for fry, and what valves to use for distributing the water.

Both of the comments below are very useful, BUT Sandy's original question was regarding an "air system", which I take to mean a way of distributing "air" to a number of tanks, and not water. And for that, Jehmco's AV1B have worked flawlessly in my system. That being said, I'll save both of the comments below for whenever I need a water distribution system.

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.

My current valve of choice is no valve at all but a controlled drip emitter -
1 gph, for example. I just use the threaded barb connector at the PVC tubing.
Easier to get equitable distribution and cheaper. See www.dripirrigation.com
