OT? Need cheap 3" diverter valve
I'm looking for a cheap 3" diverter valve to switch my roof rainwater
into my cistern after the roof is washed clean. Currently I'm using a home made valve made from a 3" cross, but it's a bit stiff and I'd like to find something better. A regular downspout diverted won't work because the input pipe is nearly horizontal and the output to cistern is also horizontal. The waste goes straight down, but that can be changed. I would like to find a valve that could be operated easily by a chain or shaft from a location 5' away. A certain amount of leakage is no problem, we are dealing with bulk water at no pressure. The real requirement is that it has to mate with 3" plastic DWV pipe. Any suggestions appreciated. Free men own guns - www(dot)geocities(dot)com/CapitolHill/5357/ |
