Maine Sail, Valve on top of thermostat housing

[DaveM]

Maine Sail
You showed a ball valve on top of a thermostat housing that you use to burp the cooling system. I wondered  who makes this particular valve and where I can get it.
Thanks

Dave, I think MS included it, but I can't find the original article you're referring to on our board here.  You might want to try his website which probably has the "original" article.

Click on the "How To" articles.

I'm guessing it's a simple Ace Hardware purchase.

Stu,  it is not on his site and it is not on the thread where he describes it. Look at reply #14.

That is why I am asking. Thanks anyway.

I see.  Why not email him, or pm him, from here.  He's a moderator on a lot of other boards, and he has a "day job", too!

Turns out MS got the valve from a plumbing and heating supplier but doesn't remember brand. Did some searching and found a (maybe the) ball valve that will take the temp and pressure. It is Legend Valve 1/8" T-900MxF-T. How it is used is described in the URL to reply #2 above.
