Anybody know where i can find a 3/4" ball valve with barbed fitting. I tried to build one at Lowes and HD but all of theirs reduced it down to 1/2" or are ball valves made a 1/4" bigger then the intended size. Sorry im a plumbing noob.

You"ll probably need to get a ball valve with threaded ends and then get a threaded barb fitting to attach to that. I used spears true union ball valves because they come with both threaded and socket ends.

What are you trying to do? 3/4 pipe to 3/4 hose?
