Getting ready to build a UDS for a CO worker and I'm trying to use up supplies I already have on hand. I have several 1 1/4" ball valves laying around and since my previous builds used free flowing stainless slider doors, I was thinking maybe using these larger valves would really flow some CFM. I guess I got spoiled once I started using sliders. I was wondering if anyone has used larger ball valves like this and if so did you have to reinforce the drum where they attached? Larger valves tend to take more effort to crack open from a closed position I've noticed. BTW my stainless scrap supplier has shut down so that's why I'm looking at using these valves. I built all my previous sliders from scratch and the supplies are gone. Thanks
