[QUOTE="Phantom, post: 77242, member: 2603"] Well have given up on finding valves and am making my own see photo. Very compact and fits inside the fitting. Have made the inlet valve and test results were good, only with water, so will proceed to make the outlet valve. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2603/1399981188_inlet_valve_completed_closeup.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2603/1399981188_inlet_valve_completed.jpg[/img] Have also given up on the Plumbers test plugs and made mine from a few plastic washers cut from the Bread tray and some cut down Suction Washers. I need to find some very light 32mm hose the main brand I can see is Barfell but this is for the high end market, does anyone have any suggestions. Biggest mistake I have made, to date, is using high pressure fittings, they are so heavy. I think I will try to attach a wiper sniper handle to allow me to control the movement as the suction end is very heavy. Regards, Phantom [/QUOTE]
