I have no personal interest, and I hope I'm not offending Rick 'n'em:

Whenever y'all want some sort of doodad, or a very good deal on things plastic, f'rinstance ball bearings for Harken cars (someting like $6 for 100 balls), or Teflon sheet for mast bearing chips, whatever...

(Information on materials is here, too)

http://www.mcmaster.com

Search engine is comprehensive. No minimum order. These guys have anything you want (including your valve, Gary.)

I found what I want
96097A386 and 90545A031
to anchor my cross beams.

The funny thing is that I was half way between Bermuda and BVI last fall and one of the guys I was sailing with and I found common ground in our love of the http://www.mcmaster.com/ catalog.

Gary

Go to mcmaster.com and enter your search terms in the field on the left-hand side. You should get a listing of 'relief valves,' 'rupture discs,' 'pop-safety valves,' 'backflow preventers'. Look at the listings and find the size and pressure you want. I don't recall your exact specs, but you can prolly find something there. Why reinvent the wheel?

In the '80's I used to do the purchasing for a manufacturing facility. Bought a lot of stuff from McMaster. Used to call it the Sears Roebuck of Industry! <img src=

Think the description fits!
