Seems to be the Nuvair valve but at double price. Not a good idea....
Correct. At that price it's almost the same as buying directly from the UK and paying the import taxes.
Any one has a picture of the inside of that valve?
Like the part where the ball meets the input side and seals?

Thanks guys.
 
(UK excluded because of brexit :()
I can't see Brexit being a reason for those high costs you have been quoted. When we can ship
from UK Thirty (30) of those aluminium BPR assemblies in a single double wall cardboard carton or two boxes of 15 in each of the heavier brass version of the BPR even out to USA for about £60

In addition the larger filter tower 103mm OD by 850mm long (Bauer type) for shipping around £22 per filter tower in a wooden crate 5 wide by 5 high with 25 tubes in total per crate. Import duty at customers end is around 3% of the shipped value. Whatever the reason for those quoted high costs it's not Brexit. Just saying. Iain

I can only speak about the costs in Portugal, but I will break it down for you.
Let's say i order something that has a cost of 100 euros without the 20% VAT from the UK.
On top of that, upon arrival to Portugal, I will have to pay 23% VAT on that, plus a fixed percentage value of customs rights that varies with each article. For example, for the drysuit I ordered from Seaskin, i Will have to pay and additional 1.5% on top of the 23%.
For example, if it were some shoes it would be + 16.9% on top of the 23%.
After all that, most carriers will charge a fee of around 50€ just to deal with customs.
So, for that valve, assuming a minimum customs rights tax of 1.5%, the cost would be 175€.
 
Hi again.
This supplier in France does not ship to Portugal.
Does nay one know any other supplier in Europe or anyone willing to sell one?

Cheers
 
Has any one used Hydraulic valves with compressed air?
I was thinking of maybe using an hydraulic sequence valve as a pressure maintaining valve.
Any thought on why it shouldn't be done or why It may not work?

Just try it. Here it works, but here - it's cold Russia where bears walking on streets and vodka served frozen to be melted in Samovar.
 
Until now I found no hydraulic part which worked fine for compressed air. Hydraulic parts use to leak when air is involved. They perfectly seal oil but not air.

Snus seems to have other experiences, sounds good. Which part do you use?
