Quick release ball valve?

[Yesfan]

I could have sworn I saw a post recently about a new ball valve that had a quick release for ease of cleaning. It looked like it had one of those ring clamps (like on a steel drum) in the middle.


I can't find the post anywhere. I thought it was something new from Bobby M, but didn't see anything on his sight either.

The fittings are called Tri-Clover.

I get those guys confused with Bobby because of the similarity in their names.


I see they have an NPT version. Will that allow me to swap my current valves with those, or would I have to convert everything to Tri-Clover??

Yep, it would allow to do a swap with your existing valves.
