<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I can't remember just when, but in a past post to LML (could be as much as 6 months ago - I've been away) I listed a source of some very nice replacement valves for those junky ones suplied in the kit that have a tendency to be bad from the start. These were very cmall stainless high pressure units that can be had with your choice of color on the handles. I got them from a company in Long Beach, California but at this time, I can't find the address (I've moved since then and can't find anything!) but if you can locate my earlier post, the info is there. If I remember, they were about $35 (I say "they" because I bought one for the fuel shut-off as well) and worth every cent! I will try to find the address but can't promise anything, but the info should be in the LML somewhere. Dan Schaefer N235SP [Good memory, Dan... here's the reprint of your post dated 11/11/98 with the source for your valves: >>> The brand name is "NUPRO" and they are a "Swagelok" company. They apparently have distributors all over the place so, where ever you are located, you should be able to find them. You can find the local dist. by going to the Swagelok page on the net at: http://www.swagelok.com/index.htm and then it's an easy point and shoot to find what you need. Here in the South Bay section of the LA area, the distributor is Long Beach Valve & Fitting Co., at (562)494-6694. Ask for the catalog sheets for their P4T & P6T Series plug valves. They come in Stainless Steel or Brass, have a range of sizes and end fittings and offer several different colors for the handles. For reference, my hydro system is plumbed with 1/4" tubing so, for my landing gear dump valve (shunts high to low pressure circuit for emerg. extension) I used their number SS-2P4T4. For my fuel shut-off, I plan to use the SS-4P4T4 for the 3/8" lines there. <<< ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
