Needle valve for 2" Boka

[Bastow]

Hey peeps... I have started collecting and buying gear for my 2" boka build. I cut the plates and grooves on the weekend and got some tri clove clamps. The ferrules and gaskets are in the mail. I am getting quite keen to start the build. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I was at a job today and saw some 1/2" needle valves on a window sill. I asked the bloke where he got them and then one thing led to another and i was on my way to pick up a 3/8". All good!

$33 for the valve .
$5 each for the swageloc fittings, all with trade discount :dance:

Too easy.

$33 sounds pretty good ,mind if I ask where from ?

Valve link, Penrith, Sydney.

I don't know what the plebs price is but shurley can't be too much more than 20% more.

Cheers, Bast.

I'd say you got a bargain right there, even the cheap shit brass ones are about that price... then the compression fittings on top of that

Swagelok valves are some of the highest priced here in Au, and if peeps can get them that cheap then I encourage you all to get them there :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[law-of-ohms]

my small 1/4" ball valve is so not good

not enough control

They are not actually swageloc brand fittings but a replica. I just had a play and installed one on my output pipe and they are just as good.

If anyone wants one (needle valve with fittings) PM me and i am sure we can work something out.

I got the Data sheet on the needle and it was made in Mumbai, has a teflon shaft gasket and only stainless touches the product. I can't wait to use it.
