1/2" BSPT SS304 Ball Valves for sale

[Nicholas Jones]

So as many of you know we have been developing the fermenters, I will get to updating that next.. however in a classic NZ-China communication breakdown, we received the incorrect ball valves in our shipment. We requested parallel thread but received tapered, and unfortunately they do not fit the parallel-thread fittings they are supposed to mate to. Given our impending release and a conceded error on the part of our supplier, as well as the cost of return shipping we have come to an arrangement, but it now means I have 500 ball valves I cant use.. I have managed to sell 250 to one of my clients but have a balance of 250 left and would like to offer them to forum members. Minimum order is 10 pieces, and the price is $6.50/piece including GST (you will get a commercial invoice if need be). Prefer pick up, but can courier at your cost, I will charge a packing fee though (probably $10)

They are the exact same valve as this. 3-piece and with PTFE seals, come in boxed pairs, they are a very good quality valve.

Please PM me, or preferably email [e-mail]

Cheers!

Sorry but just to clarify - Are they 3 piece or just like the kegking photo (which is a 2-piece valve)?

[Nicholas Jones]

Sorry Matt, yes you are correct I meant to say 2 piece. Sorry about the confusion. I'll take a photo of the actual valve so there's no ambiguity. Cheers mate

[mattd2]

No problems - just didn't want you to get stung with anyone complaining when they received their valves. $6.50 incl GST is a steal for 1/2" SS ball valves - I think I paid approx. $10 for cheap valves from a Chinese Ebay supplier and they didn't look anywhere near as nice as the ones you have!

[Nicholas Jones]

Its a good deal, the joys of the economies of scale...I just want them gone so hence sharing the love. Will probably TM them in a week or 2 if not too much interest here. Cheers mate.

Hey Nick, I'm keen. What's the thread difference? Excuse my ignorance!

[Nicholas Jones]

You might want to check this, but my understanding is BSPT female will fit on to BSPT male and NPT male, but not BSPP Male (which is what I have), however a BSPP Female will fit a BSPT Male. Confused? Someone else may confirm if this is the case, I only use BSPP in my brewery but have tried them on some tapered BSP plumbing fittings I had lying about.

I'm good for 10 Nick. Just gotta hit up the Bank of Wife

[Nicholas Jones]

I just got mine and can confirm what everybody thought, which is that they work with npt threads as well as bspt. See the attached photo with a 1/2 npt quick disconect screwed up to one.
