These valves are meant to be screwed into PVC and are often used with a linear air piston pump to run an air loop around a room filled with aquariums. Build your own custom gang valve using these. These air valves will last a lifetime and are used by most fish stores and fish breeding facilities.
Perfect for DIY Central Air Systems
Whether you're building a fish room, fish store, or other aquatic facility, these metal air valves are perfect for a DIY central air system. They install quickly, are made of sturdy materials, and won't leak.
Easy to Install in Fish Rooms
Use an electric drill and a 3/16th drill bit to drill a hole into the PVC pipe. Remove the drill bit on the drill and insert a metal air valve into the chuck so that the shorter end of the valve is pointed away from the drill. Using the electric drill, slowly screw the valve into one of the pre-drilled holes in the PVC pipe so that the threads bite into drilled hole. Once the valve is close to being all the way seated, loosen the chuck, remove the valve from the drill, and finish hand-tightening the valve to its final position.
Have used the plastic Ziss 💯 good, But the metal one's are awesome you can thread them in a proper sized manifold hole 😜

Gets the job done.
I’ve been using these for about half a year in my fish room and they’ve held up. I’ve received a couple that had the metal chipped on the tips where the airline attaches, but I used them anyway and don’t seem to be having any issues.

Good quality, great price
These were perfect for my air loop in my fish room. I used a 3/16” drill bill as a pilot and then placed the valves in my drill’s chuck to slowly thread them into the hole. Great price too, and much easier than ordering from jehmco!
