Where can I get one of these pressure relief valves?

[Pickngrin]

There is a crack/air leak in this brittle plastic. What type of valve is this and where can I get one inexpensively?

Thanks

That's a real odd one. Any manufacturer's info on the keg?

This is a newer version that is supposed to fit the gray toggle prv's.

Seems like this is the same relief valve for half the cost.

I'm not sure if it will work for the one the originally posted. I orderd 2 of these a few weeks ago and they work great for my cornelious brand keg.

Kind of looks like this company has them, a bit hard to tell from the diagram. http://www.simgo.com/replacem.htm

That part won't work.. that's for a lid with the coupling welded on. I have 2 kegs with the same type of valve (with lids that don't have the threads welded on.. just a hole in it), and haven't been able to find replacement parts anywhere. You might end up just having to buy a new lid, or see if you can weld a coupling on the lid yourself.

Thanks for all of the input. It's a Spartanburg Model F.

Over recent months, I have used this (my only pinlock keg) as a primary fermenter, but there is so much crap to scrub out afterwards. Maybe I will relegate this to being a secondary fermenter (although I never really use secondaries anymore ;-)
Re: welding a new coupling on... I know absolutely nothing about welding, but have had a desire to learn, due to my homebrewing habit. I would imagine, though, that there is a steep learning curve and cash layout for equipment... is that correct?

Welding definitely has a learning curve. You might take a look at your local community colleges. Some of them have classes in basic industrial skills. The one nearby worked a sweet deal with the steel processing plant. The school built a new welding lab and the company provided the equipment and gets to reserve the lab 4 weeks out of the year.
