I'm planning on making a couple of 1/2" x 1/4" x 1/4" valves out of Delrin Acetal rod, hopefully they'll cost less than $15 each. I need a tiny, really good valve but don't want to pay $20 for one on McMaster.

Mead fluid dynamics makes piston QEVs, not the usual diaphram ones. Their website has a place were you can find the retailers of their products. There is more than one dealer in every state.
