Protein Skimmer Gate Valve

[Aqualund]

Does anyone know where protein skimmer manufacturers get these gate valves?

Looks like the standard reef octopus skimmer, They are metric which is why they are impossible to fit in the US. The skimmer's come with a converter which will work if you can get one. If not look to purchase on online or just get the metric gate valve shipped to you. Use a metric tape measure to get your size.

Yeah that's the thing, I have been searching for quite some time. I have found nothing online.

That is an SRO skimmer. Looks exactly like my SRO 2000-INT except the pump is different. That gate valve is a huge pos. I could never dial it in well. Always got stuck or clicked. Use a converter and change it out with a Spears.

Nivram, thanks for the offer. I am more interested and compelled in discovering where I can get these, like from a distributor. Thank you though!
