I was thinking of buying this valve to fill my HLT. I know it says "not food safe at the bottom", but since it will be cold water going through it, then that water will be boiled, I was hoping it might be okay? What do you think?

Thanks
 
I don't think boiling would remove any toxic chemicals that might leech out of the plastic valve body, hot water will probably leech more than cold. I wouldn't use it, or anything listed as 'not food safe', with my beer. Just my $.02
