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)

I’ve tried to rest my wrists since last friday, I suspect I might have strained them a little too much.

Another wafer valve, this time for the 30cm/12-inch pipes. I changed the design a little bit too, to keep it visually interesting.

It turns out the wheel I’ve already made works well on it (without a gearbox). The small side is adapted to the 10cm pipes, if you want to use that like some weird junction.
