Go With Slip Joints

I first tried the plastic ball valve with threaded female ends, but it still dripped. I decided on the slip joint and with proper gluing it was perfect.

Poor Quality

Would Not Recommend

The first Valve lasted about a year. The second and last valve of this type started leaking from the top of the valve just like the first one but within one day of install. Lowe’s should consider changing supplier. The valve is fairly cheap in price but plumbers charge and arm and a leg.

In line ball valve for 1" slip to slip PVC - works

Would Recommend

It's a good ball valve but it starts out pretty tight which might loosen over time. However, I don't need a lot of adjustment to slow down the pump.
