A couple of years ago, I saw a mechanical switch/valve to control alternate static air in one of the forums. It was panel mounted. I cannot find anything in the archives about it. Does anyone happen to have information about that valve?

Dave,

  

 I can't remember where to get it, but I believe it's made by Clippard.

David,

  

 I installed a alternate static source that I got  from Safeair1 http://www.safeair1.com/SA1_products/AirKits.htm They  sell a complete pitot static system that I think is quite good. This alternate  air is very simple to install, you just put a connector inline to your  pitot/static system with a pull cord to activate the alternate air. I installed  the alternate air under the panel just forward of  my left knee so I can  just reach down and pull out the quick release plug if I need to.

Curtiss valve is used. Check far left of panel and zoom in.

I used McMaster-Carr P/N 6791T13, for $11.  It works great.  It was in the

system for the static check to 20,000'--no leaks.

David,

   There is also a panel mounted switch that somebody bought from McMaster-Carr. Look for part number  6791T12 for $14.15 (metal switch) or 6791T13 for $11.51 (plastic switch).

David,



I used something like these:

You can get them locally I'm sure.  There are parker distributors

all over the place.  I used to deal with a parker rep from the cities

for our company when I worked at Cray/SGI.  All this stuff

is easy to get.  I didn't put mine on the panel...I put it just below

the left side air vent on the side panel.  That's where they located

it on my old beech.  It's easy enough to get to for the almost

never occasion that you'll need it.
