[PSUBS-MAILIST] Ball Valves

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brain,
Gamma's ballast valves turn easy because they have a billion rotations on them.  My flood valve is quite stiff, and all the ball valves in Gamma have Teflon inserts.  Not sure what type you are looking at?

 It  seems like all the
 ball valves I've looked at are extremely tight, I mean
 it takes a lot of force to turn the suckers !  I
 noticed the ball valves on Gama did not seem to have Teflon
 inserts in them and they seemed to turn effortlessly. 
 I'm afraid if these things are so hard to turn I'm
 going to shear off the connecting rod that is turning
 them.  I'm planning on having some 2" ball
 valves for my ballast, any suggestions on how I can get them
 to turn with ease
 ? Brian
