Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Soft ballast venting valve

["Jim Kocourek" <kocpnt@tds.net>]

Hi Brian,

While I'm not an expert I will be using 1 1/2 ball valves. The ones that 
I've seen are stainless ball but it seats on nylon or some other plastic, so 
hopefully siezing should not be a great problem. The nice thing is that they 
can be replaced for less that $20.00

Just my 2 cents.

Best Regards,

Jim K
