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 RecommendEasy installation and works great with my reclaimed water system.
DO NOT BUY!!!
Would Not RecommendI write reviews that are a sub 0 or over 5. Before buying, i saw a review that said difficult to turn. Wish I listened. I did a bunch of complicated -plumbing for a new pool fountain that cannot be undone by just removing this valve. Once it was all in place, I had to turn the valve bc the main fountain had too much water relative to the others. i tried EVERYTHING to make it turn. Eventually it broke off. I am so frustrated. Do NOT waste your time. So mad.

Solid valve

These valves work!
Would RecommendWow, a real honest to goodness valve! Just turn the knob and it will open and close! My life is so much better since I bought this valve.
Long lasting valves, tight seals that last.
Would RecommendWe use these valves for water well installations. Be careful not to apply too much glue during installation to avoid getting glue on the ball valve.

Glue
Would RecommendStrong, durable, easy to use if you know what you are doing
Impossible to turn
Would Not RecommendI bought three of these 2 inch valves. Of the three two are almost impossible to turn. I found out after they were installed so I'm sure I will be paying someone to replace them soon. It's just a matter of time for the handle to break. These are junk.
