I am seeking the type of quick start (pulling the valve wheel delivers full pressure) valve that Superscale had offered. I would like to install on an injector. Are there sources for these?
Thanks,

I just bought 5/16" straight globe valves from PM Research and machined the threads off of the valve stem. Have not steam tested yet, but they seal up nicely on air and theyre effectively the same as the SuperScale starting valves

Dave Bortz in Pennsylvania now owns Superscale and might possibly have starter valves in stock. He can be contacted at:
