I am having difficulty locating a “carrot” valve, (Ceramic or porcelain plug valve), for atmospheric sulfuric acid storage tanks. Formally made by Kingsport Foundry in Kingsport TN for decades which apparently recently went out of business. Consists of a hand crank that fits a standard ANSI flange and an Alloy 20 rod connected to a ceramic plug valve for use in horizontal storage tanks. Google search results in manufacturers of the ceramic plug portion vs. a company fabricating the entire assembly. Any leads appreciated.
