Hello,
Looking to find a decent original gate valve that were utilized on a Fry 17/117 pump. I generally see a gate valve with a curved handle on these pumps...
Any direction appreciated!
Buckeye gate valve use on Fry,youll find one of this gate valve still on one out of 30 pumps. good hunting !
Dan,
I believe we talked about this valve and, although it may be period correct, it does not have the curved, over the top, on/off handle I usually see on many other pumps...
Thanks for the reply!
This gate valve was used exclusively on Fry !
different handle and flow end.
This is what’s on my 117... Jim
Later universal conversion gate valve to except the new 1" male fitting, 1930's U.S Rubber standardized all replacement pump hose, visibles were going out of production ! and the dawn of the clockface !
Thanks for the replies!
Dan,
Does the Buckeye valve usually have the 90 degree elbow attached and/or is this an additional part...?
Anybody have a functioning valve for sale...?
Thanks again ! ! !
original buckeye will have 90 degree attached, its like a garden hose bib on both ends, matches the fry hoses ,if 90 degree became unusable you would just replace it rather than the whole gate.
Thanks again Dan! Is this gate valve available for purchase...?
The Fry type is no longer being made,40 years or better , but scence there may be a small demand I have been working on buying parts and making this type below. will look very close !!!! can only make about 8 will keep two.
Did you ever place a price on your "Gate valve"? How many are spoken for? Thank you, Dan.
Gas pump heaven carries one under fry parts. It has straight handle but Ron Scobie has the handle you want on his site.
Thanks for the replies!
I have not received any prices and availability or anyone else selling an original gate valve... Thanks for the references !
Ron is currently sold out I think on his Fry gate valve handles (at least the ones I asked about). I asked about them last week. Once the quarantine is lifted and the foundries come back online he should have more available.
