Can you also recommend a ball valve? I'm having trouble determining if ones are food safe or not. Would this one work? From what I've [read] (http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to/g1580/how-to-build-your-own-home-brewing-mash-tun/) I believe 3/4" is the size I need. Then I just need the two washers and the nut.
Also in the guide I linked, I'm confused about the 1" nut for use on the 3/4" nipple, is that a typo?
Also looking through more guides, half seem to be using 1/2" ball valves, and half seem to be using 3/4". Can I use either for a 10gal cooler?

what's the reason to install the prv after the meter, but before 2nd valve (the newly installed ball valve)? is it because the high pressure will put pressure and cause damage to 2nd valve?
I will call plumber to do it. don't want to mess with water :)
Thank you!
