Help locating a valve

[aczlan]

What I am picturing in my head is a valve with a hose barb end to hook to a flexible hose that leads from a bucket/holding tank. The valve would fit in your hand like a pen almost so it would be an inline valve but it would have a tapered end to make inserting into the end of the bottles easier. The push button valve would work easily with your thumb.

I would get a replacement "lemonade valve" and put a male hose barb to female NPT adapter on it. Then you could have as long of a hose as you wanted.

This is more of what I am looking for but with a hose barb on the end or something similar to be easily attached to a hose. I know I can make this work but just finally found it so I can now try to narrow my search and see what I can find similar. Thanks again.

Look at auto syphoning racking canes.:thumbsup:

This exactly what you are looking for. It's made for filling bottles.

I was looking at those but I still needed a shutoff at the end of the hose. The tips they use for wine and beer are long shafts with a spring loaded tip and for our use they would be too long and ackward. Thanks though as it may come in handy at some point in this project.

What if you took that valve and put one of these onto it in place of the nut? Then used something like a pex crimp ring to fasten the hose over the barbed end?

That was one of my options, another was to use a hose clamp and just clamp the hose over the threads with a little sealant added first.

My issue is that I swear I have seen what I am looking for before but I don't remember where. So I am a lot closer now then when I started and I can build something up close without much difficulty. I will figure out in the morning what were going to try and hopefully get parts ordered. Thanks Aaron for your help with this.

They are a little spendy, but how about one of these with a barb on one end and a straight pipe on the other: Push Button Valve, 1/8" NPT f ports

Thats the exact type of valve I was thinking about. Thank you.

It looks like they also have 1/8" and 1/4" versions if you want a smaller valve.
