Water Shutoff Valve

[pete_c]

Thank you David.
 
Yup I am not a plumber either.  I have though learned a bit the art of copper pipe soldering over the years.
 
My ingress water main already goes from 1" to 3/4" for a supplimental pressure pump which still always triggers.  (really had only 20 Ibs of pressure here when I moved in). 
 
The above said not really sure if I need a 1" full bore or I will be OK with 3/4" reduce bore. (both water meters are 3/4")

Pete,
 
The pipe entering my house is 3/4" but I was thinking of going with the 1" to make sure there is no reduction in flow but I doubt adding the one item would have much effect so I think I changed my mind and will go with a 3/4" instead.  I decided that where I do my best thinking...in the shower.

At Dan's suggestion, I setup a different thread to focus on the group buy so anything related to the group buy should go there.  This thread could stay open for questions and comments related to the valves themselves but questions about purchasing them should go in the group buy thread.

Moved this from the other thread to here:
 
 
I had a problem with the links but found the sheets on line(other thread). I was
thinking of a 1/2" valve for air but noticed that they only go to 1.0
mpa (145 psi)...
 
 
Do you know if there is
a small higher pressure valve that will work with 175 psi? I looked an
it seems like there is only the 100 which I would have to adapt.

Sorry about the issue with the links in the other thread but it is fixed now (copy/paste error). 
 
The KLD100 goes up to 2MPa (290 psi) and there is a 3/4" version, the DN15.

I've used Hanbay actuators with Swagelok ball valves (http://www.hanbayinc.com/index.html?language=en).
