This probably isn't worth starting a new topic for but I'm really stuck with finding this part. Where can i get a ball valve that is identical to the one's built into an air compressor? On my compressor it looks like a 1/4 ball valve and has 2 male threads, the same threads that are used on blowguns/tire inflater's etc.

I live in New Zealand and I cant find anyone that supplies these ball valves (I'm probably just looking for the wrong type), the only way i know to get one is to nick one off an old compressor. Anyone know where I can get a small ball valve like this? It needs to be the same threads that are used on air tools.

well what kind of hardware stores do you guys have?

edit: but this is pretty much what ur lookin for right?

could you just buy it from online?

Ahh yes thank you, that is exactly what I need. I wouldn't want to buy it online from a non-nz domain. As soon as I searched "mini ball valve" in Google it found what i need, before I was searching "1/4 inch ball valve" that didn't find any useful results.

Thank you trae08. I think this topic should be deleted (mods) since it is quite useless.

actually im going to hijack your thread as i am also looking for a particular ball valve..

im in need of a 1/8 npt ball valve. any help would be great as i have had no luck searching for one.

Ashair in Constalation Drive stocks all air fittings like that.(you're in Auckland right?) Just search ash air into google NZ to find their wbsite.

Yep I'm in Auckland. Thanks for that info MrCrowley. That was a big help

woot! NZ is awesome, by far on of my fav countries.

Trae, check out palmers-pursuit shop. they have a 1/8" ballvalve that can handle very high pressures. i think its like 12 bucks tho. also try McMaster
