1/4" pvc gate valve?

[CloudIX]

Anyone know where to get a 1/4" pvc gate valve? I got a new Beckett injector and the valve they sent was a right angle ball valve. I'm having a problem getting the air adjustment set right with this and want one just like the original injector. I e-mailed MRC and was told they was discontinued so any leads would help.

If you can't find one you might try adjusting the ball valve to a spot and then just adjust the skimmer with the gate valve comming out of it. I had a gate valve for the air on my becket (an MR3) but once I put it where I wanted it (barely open) I didn't adjust it for years, just used the gate valve comming out to raise or lower the water level. That said hopefully you can find one. You might try Rock City Machine downtown.

Lowes should have the smaller gate valves...odd though, my MRC uses a needle valve that is screwed into the injector housing... just like in the photo on their website.

Oh needle valve.. thought it was a gate valve. That is what I'm looking for, but MRC said they are discontinued and don't have anymore in stock.

I'll also call rock city.. see if they have one.

I did find one on Granger, freaking 43.00 for that valve. Geeze that is way to much.

Rock city didn't have one, but UPS had one shipped to the door for 14 bucks.. not sure why everyone else wants so much money for them.

Thanks for everyone's help.

+1 on US Plastics, I have some from them on my Ca Rx that have worked for years without any issues.
