TC,

You've been a ton of help and it's much appreciated.  I just recently started browsing around your site and will be ordering from you if the gravity is needed.  Thanks again.

The low flow stem disk assembly is not the same as a gravity modified stem disk.

The Danner MD18 may be able to perhaps operate the Low flow stem disk if the head and plumbing are not too much for it (I have operated the low flow stem disk valves with an MD18 before.)  But as I did not sell the valve I don't know for certain the model and I'm not likely to want to spend much time supporting an install that I am making absolutely no money on  (I sell Fimco valves which means I pay them money for the valve when I sell one of the valves, if you buy a valve from elsewhere, I get NOTHING because they are not paying me.)

TC,

Tried to send this earlier, but I don't think it got through.  I've been messing around with a Fimco indexing valve (city water type, 1", 6 ports) and my Danner 1800 pump doesn't give the 10 PSI to seal the other valves.  I checked online and Fimco has a low flow conversion that only requires 6 PSI.  I think this will probably do the trick, but thought I'd ask the expert.  Is the low flow conversion they offer the same as the gravity conversion you talk about in some of the other forum comments on indexing valves?

Thanks,
