Pros & Cons
Pros
The valve works smoothly, does the job, and was easy to install. The handle turns smoothly which was also something i was hoping for. Fine quality and operates smoothly.
It needs more than the usual amount of teflon tape, but enough is included in the package to successfully install with no leaks. Makes it easy to stop the flow of water in the shower without needing to readjust the temperature when you turn the flow b... Read More
Cons
Pipe thread is tapered so it jambs-up and seals after several turns. Female threads are very poor quality and it leaks continuously.
Highlights
Quality
With the addition of this valve i can control the volume too.
Installation tip: to prevent leakage, warp all treads liberally with the supplied teflon tape (i applied 10 turns on the threads).
This valve is closed when the handle is in-line with the pipe, and open when it's at 90-degree.
Price
I know where to solve my temporary drip issues in future for a real good price.
Competitiveness
It's so easy to intall - 5 minutes, that's all it took.
