SM250 drain tube - Can I fit a JG valve?

[tbone28]

I'd like to put a valve on the tube in case I want to use it. What kind (and what size) of valve should I buy?

Here ya go. I dont think they make a Jg fitting that will fit 7/16 od.
If they do a JG ballvalve would work. You could prolly make the 3/4 JG work unless you can get metric.

Would something like this work? Sorry, but I am a plumbing idiot :o

Sorry i dont think a ballvalve is going to work for ya, Try bringing the tubing to HD and see if one will fit. I cant remember if they make a 3/4 inch ballvalve.

Hey Chasdb - thanks for the idea. Does the nog flow out easily? They seem small. If you like em, I have a TLF reactor that I've taken offline. I can just pull it off from that.
