SD's 1/2" Valve Flow Control (Dump) ???

I am plumbing my mini FBSS with all 1/2" Valves! It has recently come to my attention that my dumps are going to be doing mach-10 speed when dumping...I guess I just thought it wouldn't be that big of problem! But now my question is how to slow the dump's down?

Short of just taking a 1/2" Brass Plug and drilling it out to the desired size...I was thinking about SD's Valve Flow Controllers?

Anyone have experience with these, they seem pretty legit? Any input will be greatly appreciated?

Thanks!

I would think you could be the exact thing for alot cheaper using some household items. Such as ball valves and things like that. I just but in 1/8 plugs and feather it down . I have plenty of other things i can spend $60 bucks on.

last year for christmas i got a gift certificate from SD & i didn't really need anything so i bought them & they work great, although i don't know if i'd buy them if i didn't have the money to burn & had to spend my own cash. i used to have mini ball valves on them & they worked just as well; they just didn't look as good as these.

or yuo could put a fitting and pinch a small peice of copper.that slows it down a pretty good amount.

I love mine. But you can get the same thing done with some ball valves. You can get them from ricky a whynotfab.com

they are under air managment-other parts and are like $5 a piece.

or just get a 1/2 to 3/8 fitting and like about a couple of inces of 3/8 line that works pretty good too
