Hi Everyone, I am in the process of restoring an older RayTech cabing machine and it is missing two water valves. Would anyone know where I can find a similar valve without calling RayTech? I searched the internet for an hour and could not find anything. Thanks, Tim

That's an aquarium air valve, most are plastic now, but a good aquarium shop should have them.

Covington carries all of the parts, including the spray nozzle that screws on the end of the valve. Your local hardware store should have the brass valves and all fittings except the spray nozzle, but you may have to change from plastic tubing to copper pipe. Don

I use standard compression needle valves available at any hardware. The compression side comes with an insert for plastic tubing and ferrule for copper.

I use compression needle valves like John say also. They work great and give you precise control over the water flow. Steve
