What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the valve's reliability, durability, and effective water shutoff performance, with most confirming it works exactly as designed and maintains tight seals under pressure. Many highlight its solid construction and long-term performance across demanding applications like irrigation and pool systems. However, a notable concern is the excessive force required to turn the handle—some describe it as nearly impossible without tools or multiple people. Reviewers suspect over-application of cement during installation causes jamming, and several advise testing valves before purchase. Despite this operational challenge, most customers consider it a dependable, well-made solution.

Would Not RecommendThese were extremely hard to open and close, even with WD-40. Even after opening and closing several times, it still required some light hammering and a vice grip to open. The smaller ones work a lot better.

I'm dramatic but still telling truths

Very HARD To Turn...But There IS a Cure!
Would Not RecommendI have used a number of these 1" valves over the years. Some work great...some are so tight that it is next to impossible to turn them. While trying to apply some type of lube may help a bit...but after it is in use for a while it will, once again, be almost impossible to turn. However...There is a CURE for this problem if you have no choice (convenience or otherwise) and must use this valve. Before installing it, drop it into a pot of boiling water for a couple of minutes. Then pull it out...
