Thanks to all who replied with excellent suggestions  for an  

alternate static panel mount valve.

Several suggestions looked good to me.

However, I've been looking for one that will toggle between normal  

and alternate, and my panel is made to accommodate that. I'll look  

first at the Clippard MTV-3P as suggested by Chris Johnson.

hey all - 



so after I posted I searched further, and I found possibly a better part

# for this air valve toggle, if any are interested.  The earlier part #

was a 3 way valve toggle, which just means that you have to block off

one of the exit ports.  There's a 2 way one which just has an inlet and

an outlet, and the switch body is even smaller.  I think the part # is

TV-2SP and it looks like this:

except it's got a 1/8 NPT inlet on the back.  There's no picture of this

specific one in the catalog, but I've ordered one, so we'll see if it's

neato.  I'll report back after I receive it, and let y'all know if it's

super-mega-fantastico or no.  the only bummer here is that while the

switch is around $9, they charge $7 for shipping, and $10 for HANDLING!

Must come in a velvet lined box   whatever... I'm just the sort of

fool who'll pay for the convenience of not having to run around the city

to hunt this little bugger down.  too busy covering myself in fiberglass

dust.

I used a similar toggle.  McMaster P/N 6791T13.  Cost was  $12.  It had a

pretty large plastic handle that I shortened a little.



It's been static tested to 20K' and didn't leak at all.
