Needle Valve?

FocusFin · April 07, 2009, 06:13:50 PM

Hi y'all,

I know this questions has come up several times in the past but does anyone know where to find (locally) a needle or precision valve for saltwater application. I've been to Swagelok but they're $75.00 for stainless steel and I need two of them.

I need about 1 drip per second and the two need to match each other, hence the accuracy. I'll buy online but hoped it would be easier to just find something local.

Thanks

Mike

Funny, my brother suggested an IV drip or some sort of caliper/clamp to restrict the flow which is similar in concept.

This gets great reviews and apparently is very precise. I will investigate further.

Thanks Zzippper

If you're going to order some - lemme know first. I might want a couple myself as well.

I like SmallParts.com pricing better. UPS scares me due to brokerage fees. USPS is my friend. I could not see on SmallParts.com if they shipped UPS, FedEx, or USPS. They do say "We will gladly work with you to determine the most cost-effective method to ship your international order".

It doesn't matter to me where we get them, if everyone is in agreement then let me know how many each want and we'll proceed.

Gauthier,

How often do you get over to the states?
