Best option for valve and fittings for pair of 10g Igloo...

[DatsyukianDeke]

SSIA, I don't mind paying for quality but would like to keep the cost relatively reasonable.

Can't speak to cost/model, but I cleaned a 3 piece valve recently. It was very nice for getting things clean.

Check out www.brewhardware.com for quite possibly the best prices around on stainless fittings and valves.

Edit: Actually, I meant www.bargainfittings.com . Super cheap and fast to ship. Brewhardware is pretty good too...

The brewhardware bulkheads are the best on the market by a country mile.

I have used both bargain fittings and brew hardware with success.

I picked up a Lowes (by igloo) 10 gallon (well, picked up 2 of them) for $35.00 each.
I then ordered 2 Stainless Ball valves form Aliexpress.com for $12.50 each.
Ordered a different gasket for the seal since I prefer it $1.00
total: $48.50 per mash tun.

So I have 2 fully functional mash tuns for under 100. I also ordered a brew bag instead of a false bottom. This past weekend for the first time. 168 degree into the cooler with 10# of grain and read 153 after stiring, after 1 hour 5 minutes into the kettle was 151 degrees.

Shop around on the cooler, Some stores have it for 49-54 but they have clearance ones (it's only the sku and the handles) for 35.00.

The valves took 9 days to get to me from alixpress:

But if you can, always try to support your local homebrew shop with the day to day items and ingredients! (they just could not touch the pricing on the valves..)

I did, that $12.50 was everything from bulkhead, with spare gasket to nozzle... shipped. nothing else needed except a hole. (which was already there).

That's a good deal! I've bought on ali a few times, but there's always been a long wait to get the items. Very good prices though...
