luudee Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Guys, I've looked all over, and can't find a 3" TU Ball Valve. Anybody knows where to buy one ? I live in Pattaya and been to all shops (I think). Am open to online orders (within Thailand) as well. Many Thanks, rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grollies Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Have you tried Poolworld Thailand? Also when sourcing my pool equipment JD Pools Bangkok said they could supply. I did without in the end, but by design, not for the want of supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sappersrest Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi Do you need this for a replacement or a new system? If it is for a replacement and you just want to use the valve body, beware that the union threads on just about every manufacturer is different there is no set standard.You must get an exact match. If it is a new project you may consider a butterfly valve, cost wise for a reputable make there is not a lot of difference, also with very few exceptions they are interchangeable with different manufacturers valves,and are far more reliable at that size than ball valves and give a better flow performance especially if they have to be throttled back. The forum sponsor stock these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luudee Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Unfortunately, it's to repair the existing setup. Right hand side needs to stay unchanged (it is also under pressure from the pool). So far I have not been able to find a replacement. Attached is a closeup of the existing valve. The labeling is: S.H. NSF-pw S.E. Many Thanks, rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 3" is a challenge. I saw a couple of such stuff on the net but all ending at 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luudee Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I believe, this is a: TVI 3" PVC Glue-in Socket Ball Valve PN16 90-3 DN80 Valve. At least judging by appearance and labeling. Amy pointers where to buy them in Thailand very much appreciated ! rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sappersrest Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 This the manufacturers web details for that valve you may be able to contact them, for a supplier inThailand. nsf is a manufacturing standard. copy the photo and send to them. Do you know how old it is that may help as well http://www.shieyu-valve.com.tw/31-ball_valve.html?CID=1 If it is from the bottom sumps ,drains you can blank these off fairly easy done it many times before. Failing that you may have to cut the whole lot out and start again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luudee Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 FYI, I ended up ordering one from this place: http://www.jarmjooree.net/ They are in Bangkok, and sold me a 3" valve for 2,290 baht. Compared to 4,300 what most pool places quoted this was a great deal, and they shipped it free of charge to me in Chonburi ! Cheers, rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
