Went searching for a 3 way valve today. Prices ranged from 11.85 to 99.00 for basically the same valve. The cheapest price was, and this is a shock, from an aircraft supply house. And shipping was an outlandish $1.73

nice find!

easy to panel mount, and requires no trips to the plumbing supply house

with the price of brass fittings, the savings in not having to buy them is enough to pay
for the valve and the shipping.

thanks for the link

we need a section on this forum for "parts"  this is an example of a part that would be very useful to many folks
and having a section called "parts" that we can put things like this in would make it a great place to look up those
useful bits and pieces.

gonna do it !

Just ordered two!  Don't need them now, but you can't have too many fuel selector valves laying around  ;D

I know if I don't order them, my current valves will gum up and fail.
Currently using two of the fuel tank transfer valves from here.
