ok, so I'm doing the cheap conical thing with the rotomold inductor tanks, instead of spending a bunch of money on stainless hardware I was thinking pvc or something similar for the drain, then I ran across these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00271HSGE/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
super rad looking, four bolt ball valve.
the website lists these for components:
• Stainless Steel Bolts • Precision molded in polypropylene. • Polypropylene is reinforced with berglass for additional strength. Self-aligning ball moves freely against the Teflon® seats for smooth operation. The valve opens and closes with little pressure on the handle. • Ball is diamond turned, after molding, to make it spherically perfect, which provides precise contact between ball and seats. • Viton® “O” rings. • Teflon® self-lubricating stem bushings and seats cannot stick or bind.
HOWEVER: here's where I get... questionable, I contacted the company if the item was food safe, and they stated it was not FDA approved...
so, the component list all seems food safe, therefore one would imply from that the valve is food safe, but not fda approved. Any expert thoughts out there on this?
