im looking into tuning my bokakob into a VM and wanted some input on what to look for in a valve as that will be the main purchase for this project.
from what i can gather, SS gate valves are best since thier seals are PTFE and have the smallest surface area. they also create the least turbulance (effects debatable)
or a SS ball valve which has a bit more seal exposure
from what ive seen it seems like there isnt any appreciable difference in performance between ball and gate. comments?
also, for a 2 inch column, what would be the proper size for the takeoff branch on the T and what size valve? im wondering if there would be any change in performance between say branching off at 2 then reducing to something smaller then the valve, or just using a 2XsomthingX2 T from the start.
this is an ongoing lazy project over the holidays. mostly just wondering whats best to look for as a browse over ebay and the scrappers. what would be an ideal rolls-royce valve, an average valve, and what to steel clear of
VM Valve question
