The 3/4 valve in the title is used on Hydrohoist and other boat lifts. I found a replacement some years ago and should have made note of where I found it. Been looking past few days and coming up empty.

The reason for Butterfly (BF) valve over ball valves is the amount of pressure needed to turn them. Thought about natural gas valves because they turn easier but they are designed for much lower pressures.

Edit: and don't want to buy HH valves because of cost

Thanks Scott that's it. If MMC has it, there should be others
Note MMC is 1/2 of HH

slow crowd caught up…missed hydrohoist in post 1 … mmc is my goto at work, not always the cheapest but incredible how fast they process orders and never have any quality issues with their items.
