Subject: Valves, Starsan

An excellent source for many brewery needs, including valves of all
sorts (sanitary 3A, check valves etc.) and other fittings is McMaster
Carr. Their web site (www. mcmaster.com) makes it relatively easy to
find even the most obscure piece, they sell to anybody and because I (in
Virginia) live relatively close to them (N.J.) anything I order today
arrives tomorrow without having to pay for overnight delivery.

If you wish to pay more (sometimes lots more) for the same functionality
there is always Cole Parmer.

I'm sure that careful investigation would reveal that Starsan, like so
many things in this world, "...is known to the state of California to
produce birth defects..." by which I believe they mean rational thinking.

Subject: RE: Source for valves and other fittings

Paul is looking for a Source for valves and other fittings...

I've bought a lot of that sort of stuff from one particular seller on eBay:
Sintrol. He's in Gurnee Il. At the moment he has a 3-way Teflon diaphragm
valve with 3/4 sanitary fittings for sale, which is a nice valve design if
you want to throttle, but probably not so much for switching flow. On the
other hand, it's pretty cheap, and it should work. AFAIK, since it has a
Teflon diaphragm, it should handle the temperature.

If you contact him and tell him what you want, there's a good chance he'll
have it and then he'll put it on an auction for you.

I recommend installing valves and pumps and things like that with the 1/2 or
3/4 inch sanitary fittings. They're nice.

Mike Sharp
