Sorry but just saying but I heard a lot of bad stories about those guys. Just my $0.02 but I hear they are hard to deal with too. Good Luck!!St. Pats has some: https://www.stpats.com/index.htmDo you prefer the trigger handle over the pull handle?

Yep, they have a reputation for bad customer service. They have gotten out of the homebrew business since then. I have ordered stainless stuff from them a few times and everything went well.Sorry but just saying but I heard a lot of bad stories about those guys. Just my $0.02 but I hear they are hard to deal with too. Good Luck!!

The last time I bought TC 1 1/2" 304 SS Butterfly valves, it was almost two years ago from GW Kent for $85, IIRC. So you appear to be right in the ballpark.
