Where to purchase a small 1/2" ball valve?

[ziggy13]

Hey everyone,

Our brewery uses a small 1/2" ball valve into a 3/8" barb to connect co2 tanks and oxygen tanks for oxygenation and carbonation. I am having problems finding where to buy replacement parts for this item.

Does anyone know where I can buy a small 1/2" ball valve like in the photo I've attached? Our brewhouse supplier was a huge pain in the butt to work with and is now not even honoring our warranty, so I really need to purchase some of these out of pocket ASAP.

Thanks in advance!

We get that type of stuff from brewershardware.com
Bargainfittings.com is good too

How much space do you have? A 1/2" bronze full-port ball valve should be about $10 at the local hardware store. Throw in a couple of 1/2" close-couplers for another $5 or so, and Bob's yer uncle.

Thanks everyone for your help. I was being stupid and was thinking the threads were something weird because they look so different, they're almost flat instead of coming to a point like NPT if that makes any sense. Anyways we tried it with an NPT fitting and it worked perfect, so I went ahead and ordered what I needed from BargainFittings.com. Thanks again to everyone who replied!
