Valve Bank or Gang Valve

(OP)
Hi, I am looking for a valve bank or gang valve, like the ones used for aquariums; however it would need to be for tubing 1/2" or 5/8" inner diameter.  Would anyone know where I could get this?
Thanks
Steve Elster

I have just looked at the Swagelok URL and it is a manifold whereas I am looking for a gang of values, a row of them, each one of which control its own channel.  I don't know whether to call these a gang or a bank of valves.
Thanks so much WaterRetaw

RE: Valve Bank or Gang Valve

I am looking for a piston design air valve with on an off buttons that will offer  an employee to use his foot to put  the valve on or off.

This is for an 1 1/2" dia air line. The air supply is used for controling air at railroad yards and for train brake testing . The present valves are a ball valve with bleeder and the handle usually fails due to the user kicking the valve on or off and not bending over to operate . Railroad close clearance requirements dictate the need to keep it close or near to ground elevation.

Any direction will be appriciated.... Thanks.

John Camp
