[Tylerinthetub]

Hey guys, I'm looking for the Chinese equivalent of these tubing valves

My google fu must be weak today, all I could find on aliexpress was the metric ones.

Any help would be appreciated.

yeah i guess amazon doesn't have the best shot there

don't care about the locking, but I have a ton of swedgelock ss stuff i'd like to use but I almost had a heart attack when i saw the price of those valves, and I still need to convert that to Leaf bucks and shipping.

Something like this do the trick?
Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/12mm-Compre...e-SS304-NEW-/272139524694?hash=item3f5cc79a56
Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/304...lve-915-PSI-Q91SA-PN-6-4-Fit/32728207298.html

Look up hylok, whitey, parker for cheaper versions of swagelok.

Also, 1/2 " is 12.7 mm. That's only a .010" difference to 13mm. If you can get a valve to try at 13mm for a good price it might be worth a try.

Most companies have a pdf file of the part with exact machining specs +/- of what will work.


There are so many different names for almost the same fitting. You said swedge loc but it could also be gator bite, push loc, smc, John gust, or a variety of other trade names.

Flare fittings and compression fittings also work well with stainless hard line.

Swagelok is a brand of compression fittings.

Building an automated brewing system, but slow going, been at it for a year now.

I'm at the point where I could probably finish it in a day or two if I would just buy the parts but I'm a big tight wad and always looking for deals.

Those ones on Aliexpress might fit the bill.
