Hey guys,
I'm just about done my keezer build and i'm trying to find a local source of small ball valves for my manifold. I'm going with the PA manifold and can find all the barb fittings, nipples, etc etc etc that i need but i can't seem to find small 1/4"npt ball valves anywhere. Am I blind and missed them in the mystery isle in PA?

I got mine at PA, on the opposite side of the isle / rack as the manifolds, near the end in a basket. They're nothing special and IIRC cost about 10 bucks so I only got a couple. I also didn't notice them a few times.

I absolutely love Fairview. Everytime I go in, I get just a handful of fittings/bits and pieces. The greatest thing is that the guys consider it more of a hassle to type in all of the stuff on their POS, so they just ask for a few bucks for the coffee fund. So if you show up with a shopping list and $5, the world is yours!

I saw the 1/4" valves at PA last night. They are located in the plumbing/water pump section.

Because of this thread, I went into Fairview Fittings today to find a 1/2" ball valve. I walked out having paid $4 for it. Amazing service.
