Needle valve upgrade - baffled

Post by Patching246 »

Hey guys. Taken a couple of weeks off to do some work on the house etc. I just took delivery of a 3/8 needle valve to replace the 1/2" gate valve I've using for boka takeoff (from Amazon USA). It seems mighty small, but everything I've read suggests it will be an acceptable size. Am I right?

If so, I need to figure out what kind of coupler I need to fit to my existing setup. I can't find anything that offers the appropriate step down in size AND will work with the male threads. Might need to add additional piping and use compression fittings. Any thoughts?
