Any Idea's as to what this is from or for what ? SOLVED Thanks

[DPBOB]

Dug this today.. I can't think of what it may have been used for ??
It's about the size of a playing card.
Threaded hole on one side and just a plane hole on the other.
It's made of brass...
Both sides are identical
Any guesses.....

Looks like it has something to do with a cable going around the grooved area, possibly forming a loop, maybe threaded end was attached to a stretching thingy, like a turn-buckle. I don't really know, just my WAG.......NGE

Maybe some type of hanger that would thread onto an "all-thread" that hung from the ceiling? Or maybe a radiator, etc. pressure relief valve?

Interesting for it has a Left Hand internal thread...

I believe that is incorrect.

Sry But LOOK closer..that thread turns ccw & goes in which means LH thread..

It is the internal gate to a large gate valve....3" or 4".

Looks like the inside of an old gate valve. Tony

Pressure flow regulator?

[dfxer]

It is defiinitly the inside gate from a gate valve, it is inserted to the body of a valve, and the handle shaft screws into the gate through a packing gland.

Green tick nice ID..

Definitely. (not the best pic but great ID!) Its from a standard modern large water shut-off valve. (water, not ammonia) such as used for a swimming pool.

The gate moves down when the shaft is turned clockwise and up counterclockwise.

It's a tap handle - or if it isn't, it could be!

Hey Bob, get a Kegerator!!!

Cheyenne has a better pic here. (you can see the gate inside). This one has the shaft broken.

I agree BCH, not the best pic, but it was one that showed a cut-away of the inside of the valve and the threading...I should've removed the ammonia valve at the bottom of the pic. The gate DP found is definately for water.
Here's a much better idea of the real deal.


And here's a link that shows cut-aways of all types of valves. http://www.bayporttechnical.com/cut-away_valves.htm

Yep, probably the same but ammonia eats brass and copper. Ammonia needs galv. iron pipe as far as I know. Good ID

Ill repost your old pic that shows the gate inside.

[DPBOB]

Thanks for all the great info....
I se what you guys mean.....
What is it is SOLVED

Now it may be turned into the head for the tapper... Thanks Neil.....

Just replaced one on my sump outlet recently.(newer cheap PVC valve) Gate valve indeed. But kegerator-adaptation is all we're really interested in now that you brought it up.

Great pics Cheyenne. But I still dont think its a iron/steel valve like you pictured. You can remove the word ammonia, but its still an ammonia valve lol. But maybe Im just nitpicking. Your pics do show very good cutaways. Steel is used for oil, ammonia and some other chemicals, also treated water such as with antifreeze, but not straight water or chlorinated water. Its more like the brass gate valve pic you posted in your old post IMO. As you say, definitely water. Brass is used for water.

The larger all brass sizes were used for older residential swimming pool pump lines; 2, 3, and 4 inch water lines. They are identical to the 1 inch water supply gate valves still in popular use. Thats what I believe he found, a brass gate from an all brass valve. 8)
