Title: Stainless steel ball valves
Post by: Metattron on May 17, 2013, 01:00:27 PM
Anyone know a good source for stainless steel ball valves and fittings?  I got one for my kettle off ebay but it wasn't cheap.  Had a look at these guys though, seem a bit better:

HBW have them with weldless fittings & bazooka tubes. Not on the site afaik but a big bucket of them in the shop. They've SS hose barbs for the end of the tap also.

Naw definitely not stainless. More like nickle or chrome plated brass, but definitely brass just like your neck :P
