These valves

I picked some up at a salvage yard & was wondering if they are a good valve to run & will these valves do FBSS or just FB

Thanks, Matt

Looks like 8 valves to me. So depending on how you wire up switches, you could do:
Front
Back
Side
Corners
All up/down

Not sure who makes it, but looks like a good design. If they used solid valves, that could be an awesome setup.

Just so ya know, something very similar sold by AIM ....

AIM valves

I know a lot of peeps are down on Aim, but are those valves ok ???

I know some about bag'n, but what is the difference between these being 3-position vavles Vs. ??? valves

Also, mine don't have the manifold on he bottom where can I get one ?

Oh, one more thing
My tank has a very very small "crease" in it all the way around, it's right next to the weld is this factory or is my tank gonna blow

Thanks, Matt

I have the same vavles on my truck and have had no problems. Of course the truck just sits in my garage but I have played around with the bags/switches/valves plenty and they have worked flawlessly. At the time I bought them, it seemed like more sense to have four valves instead of eight, and they were cheaper. I'll keep using them until I have problems, if that ever happens.

I pulled this stuff out of a ricer
And he had a custom fiberglass interior, I guess the tank was molded in as well

gotcha .... i thought the thing had been hot glued back together ... LMAO

Those are a similar version to a block / manifold valve. They are a decent valve and each one will do two positions ( fill and dump ) Since you have 4 of them you will be able to do FBSS with them. Just make sure to run a water seperator / filter between them and the tank. Those valves have a sliding center pin that over time can tear the O ring from debris going through the lines. This will cause the valves to leak air on the fill, or dump side.

Good luck with the project.

Does anyone know if & where I can get the manifold for these valves, as I got mine without them ???

[pharcydekm]

I run a very simular valve on mine and had them on a truck in the past. They are a decent valve. The biggest issue that I have with them is you can only run 150-175 PSI with them. As far as a manifold it is not neccesary to use a manifold. I put mine as close to each bag as I could this will give you a quicker fill and dump. Also makes for a lil bit better of a ride.

Thanks for the info

I know you don't have to run the manifold, I just liked how clean it made every thing look

But I didn't know that putting the valves close to the bag made a difference, now I will be thinking about this option
