Finding similar 3-way ball valve
I’m looking for something like this:

It won’t be submerged, just a way to isolate a frag tank that’s plumbed into my main system, should the need come up.
I would like it to be all PVC though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The banjo one listed above is top notch. I use quite a few of them on pump systems at work.

It is slip. If you click on the specification tab, it says the valve is supplied with NPT and Socket connectors. This is a very common practice with PVC valve connectors, ships with both connection types.
Socket = slip. Same thing.

Out of curiosity, why not just use 3 regular valves? Must be about 20x cheaper....

The banjo one isn't nearly 20x the price here.. But yes.. that first one they found $100+ was pricey.. Hence the hunt for a lower cost unit I'm sure..

Yeah, it is because of physical space.

I've been looking for the same valve, I have seen them listed on Ebay, but not very often. $125 seems to be the average price for new.
