Now that I have sourced (gota love the old recycling centre (dump shop)), modified, cleaned and polished 2 x 50lt SS containers h34r: for my HLT (electric) and kettle (gas) I've decided to fit them up with SS ball valves and fittings. My guess is the prefered size is 1/2" and I have seen a few post promoting the 2 and 3 peice ball valves (re cleaning etc).
My question to those out there far more educated than I in these pieces of kit is as follows:
Are the advantages of the 3 piece valve (disassembly etc) worth the extra cost and physical size over the 2 piece?
Quotes I have at the moment are low $20 for 1/2" 2 piece amd mid $20 for the 1/2" 3 piece. Nearly all the suppliers stated the physical size of the 3 piece would be a burden - what do you guys (and gals) think?
Cheers
