A multi-usage valve piece
This is by far the most useful part I’ve made for the pipe kit. When I was fishing for references, I noticed that some globe valves and check valves looked basically identical, (with the exception that globe valves have a wheel turret). On top of it, they also kinda look like 3 way manifolds.
The last 3 pictures show 3 possible configurations:
- As a check valve (the top face is a service panel)
- As a 3 way manifold (the top face is a flange)
- As a globe valve (the top face is the turret mount)
(The turret is borrowed from the 1 meter pipe set, I have a different turret and wheel type in mind, I just haven’t made them yet)
