HP valves with levers wanted.

Hi divers,

I am looking for hp-valves to build my own filling panel.
Can get them here in holland, but feel they are slightly overprised.. (deuh.
everything is)
Does anyone know of a reliable scuba store that has an online facility where
I can see and buy these kinda materials?

I am looking for the valves that instead of a knob, have a lever I can pull
to fill the tanks, and push back to release the pressure.

well all, hope I made myself clear at least and that someone can point me in
the right direction.

Thx in advance,

Michel

Any more ideas?
What's the name for those things anyway, I bet I could find them on google
if I knew what to look for.

No, I don't off-hand but I do have some advice for you. Make sure that
the valves you get are for GAS and not meant for fluids.

Reason being : someone was kind enough to donate a filling panel to
our club which used these hydraulic valves. The fluid that is supposed
to pass through them also lubricates them, so the net result is that
with only dry gas traveling trough them they pack up every so often
and has to be rebuilt often.

I'm a design engineer and deal with pnematics on a daily basis.


What you are talking about, I think, are called ball valves.
These are simple on/off things - just turn the handle 90 degrees from one to
the other

Another reply, quite rightly, mentioned that valves are different for fluids
and gases.
Its down to lubrication and the type/material of seals and seats inside
them - I won't bore you with the details!!!

You'll need to know what pressure you are using (that's a matter of course,
I presume?)
And you'll need to know what size of thread you want on them - BSP at a
guess.

So you could do a Google search on "pneumatic" and "ball valve" which should
get you going.

Have a look at : www.norgren.com for a start - amd No! I don't work
for them!

There are a few other companies around that make/supply that sort of stuff :
Festo, Econosto (I think), DeeVee, Schraeder et.al.
You could try searching for those.

As an aside :
Its probably worth searching out the local supplier tell them what you want
to use the valves for
and asking for a price on it - it might work out cheaper.
AND : Its probably where your local dive shop buys them from anyway!!!
(Cut out the middle-man!)

I am also interested in buying these type valves. There are not called
ball valves they are known as a High Pressure Toggle Valves
You lift up the lever and it lifts a rising stem off a soft seat.
Saw them on a German compressor they work great.
Gust cant find them in the UK. Tell us where in Holland can you buy them
(even expensive) ish

Hi hwing,

they'll cost 130 euro a piece and can be bought with
Schiphorst Compressor Service Techniek

http://www.cst-schiphorst.nl

their site is lousy, their service is great.
Forget mailing them. Just call the 06 number on the site.
Regards,

MIchel

PS: I have eventually just bought these valves here.
