In Search Of Manifold Valve

[redfishbluefish]

I'm looking for a 1/2" ball valve with a quick connect on one side and male pipe thread on the other. Basically this fitting, but with a valve in the middle:

I have a very tight space off my manifold and can not fit the quick connect adaptor, and then the valve....it all has to be one to fit. I've already checked the Watts' site and didn't find anything. Anyone have ideas. Thanks.

I use an inline valve for this. You should be able to find it locally. It might fit. There are also 90 degree elbows you can use to route the pipe.

Thanks Joe.....but what you raised is my issue. I can't fit that conventional Murlock (Quick Connect) valve along with two adapters on either side of the valve....between the manifold and reactor. So I'd have this valve:

and two of these connectors to tie into the reactor and manifold:

Now if I could move the threading over to one side of the valve, and eliminate that connector, I'd be set!

it has to be 1/2'' correct? i found one that 1/4''

Thanks Marcus.....that's it, but needs to be 1/2 inch.


I thought I found it at Grainger, but after reading the specs, the Quick Connect side is 1/4"......poo! (Also found it with 3/8 QC.) FYI, a 90 elbow valve would work as well.

yea it doesn't seem to be a very popular size...that 1/2''

Paul this is what I did with my manifold:
I used this adapter

A regular ball valve (thread on both ends) and a quick connector like the one in the first picture you added.

I'll post a picture when I get home after work.
Let me know if you need the adapter I think I have some left.
