Gas shutoff valves

[mooseMoose]

Working on converting a burner to natural gas, and for the life of me I cannot find a valve that has a 1/2 female flare inlet and an 1/2 male flare outlet. Anyone know where to get one? Apparently, I have found one before; years ago when i converted my other burning but can't find one for the life of me.

Otherwise if I could find a 3/8 female flare to 1/2 mip, that would work as well.

FWIW my burner has a 3/8 male flare, and my quick connect gas hose has a 1/2 female flare. I am trying to include a local shutoff valve through the conversion.

I think I have it if I guessed the valve you were trying to use. Supplyhouse.com. I was looking for a flare reducer coupling 3/8"x1/2" but only female flare swivels show up which I don't know how they differ from a coupling but these three will work. I think maybe your were wanting to go with one less fitting but the gas ball valve selection seems limited.

Or a 1/2" female flare Swivel x 3/8" female flare swivel and 1/2" flare gas ball valve (male x male). That first one is hard to find though, supplyhouse.com didn't have it and the linked site doesn't have the 1/2" flare gas ball valve so you'd have to pay shipping 2x if you couldn't find the valve locally.

Adventures in Homebrewing has the 1/2" NPT x 3/8" Female Flare fitting you asked about, but out of stock.

valves are supposed to be on the end of the supply line, so with gas that's pretty much always NPT. i dont think you're likely to find one. probably have to do one, or maybe even two adapters to get down where you want to be with a valve on a 3/8 supply line.

when it comes to gas, they dont make it easy to goof around.
