whats a hi vac valve?

if you're looking for needle valves their on google or a bunch of other places, just don't get them from a glass distributor...unless you want to pay a 500%mark up...

[nicko0]

hi-vac appears to be kimbles brand.

im looking for glass valves withe hdpe plug preferable the bottom drain 90 degree type.

Go here (https://www.chemglass.com/search.asp) and figure out the correct name of what you want. Then ask about it. Right now you don't make any sense at all.

Unless I'm misinterpreting your lousy description, which is entirely possible, you may want to use the search term "stopcock".

I thought I was using keywords used on their catalog.

A stopcock is not what I'm looking for.

I figured someone on here is familiar with these parts.

So how about you share the link, and tell us what it is? or is it super secret?

[zippetmonster]

why not call chemglass and tell them you want to make a glass torch and see what they recommend? That is what I did and they were very helpful.

hi-vav valves numbers are based on the opening of the hole inside the valve. Most common valves are 0-4, meaning it opens from 0mm-4mm. 0-8 is a bit large for theses applications, a normal teflon valve will seat and work fine....https://www.chemglass.com/product_view.asp?pnr=CGB-960
