Ball valve?
Where do you buy your ball valves? Or what else can I use for a pit drain point?

Home Depot, plumbing supply, sometimes a salvage yard. Harbor Freight usually doesn't carry bigger sizes like 2".
Check ( PM ) with Bluz, he may have some and could send them to you.

Re: Ball valve?
Is there any other alternatives people have used? All I have seen is ball valves. They are running around 55 dollars new. I will PM Mark now.

Re: Ball valve?
you dont need a 2 inch ball valve!
I use 1 inch and they drain just fine 14 dollars at HD

I used a 3/4" valve to fit the 3/4 NPT threaded hole on my 20" x 36" offset and it works just fine.
