Ball valve regulators

[KeithW]

List,

A little while ago under the heading PTFE Regulators several contributers mentioned the use of a ball valve in the regulator,adding that the said valve should be stainless steel. This morning I received a call from a friend, who has replaced the troublesome disc regulator in his 5" B1 with a ball valve. On hearing from me that the valve should be stainless and not brass he is in a bit of a panic. He searched the web and found numerous suppliers of the stainless variety, but is at a loss as to what to buy and from whom.
Can anyone suggest a suitable valve for the B1 and recommend a supplier?
Now to get on with the Manor cab.

Hi steamjohn

A friend of mine is building a 7 1/4 GWR 1366 and is not happy with the regulator design.
I recently mentioned your idea to him and he was very interested and keen to find out more.
Is there any chance you could email me some info that i can pass on to him. We would both be very grateful.

Best regards
Jim
