Heavy Duty 1/4 Quarter Turn Angle Shut Off Valve Squared Body 1/2 in. NOM Comp Inlet x 3/8 in. OD Compression Outlet Chrome Plated Brass (5 Pack)

Great quality and solid!

Heavy, well made quarter turn valves. Easy install. Great value.

I used an extracting took to completely remove my old cut off valves and the brass ring knob thing. These valves came with a new brass fitting ring/knob. It has a name, but I can't remember what it is. Anyhow, when you install, the Teflon tape goes around that brass ring. You can put it on the threads too, but it needs to be around that brass knob/ring or it will leak eventually.

These 1/4 turn valves seem to be good quality, heavier than the Brasscrafts sold at HD. The valve ball is still metal, unlike the newer Brasscraft (plastic) junk at HD . Should last a long time. Easy install. So far, no complaints ! They are made in China though.

This set arrived today to replace water shut off valves that had been on since 1984! I did purchase a great tool that easily removed the old compression ring to make the installation simple and would highly recommend you do the same. OK...well, these replacements were SO MUCH BETTER than what I took off. Buttery smooth operation, quite heavy for their size and a perfect fit. I will plan on exercizing each one on a monthly basis so they do not become "Frozen" from lack of use! I also have a neat tip.....before you install them probably under a cabinet or behind a toilet, put a few drops of BLASTER inside the top of the valve where the water suppy would normally attach. Open and close the valve several times to distribute the drops and then tighten the water supply fitting to the valve. This will help immensely and prevent any rust or corrosion from building up inside the valve. Most of these remain either OPEN all the time or CLOSED and lack of activity is what allows for the valve to stick either closed or open! All in all, a very well designed product. Maybe the best out there.

Very well made, high quality!

Our home is around 35 years old now, and the original shutoff valves to our toilets and sinks are all these knurled knob, plastic shaft, and rubber washer cheap shutoff valves. As we have plumbing issues with faucets and toilets and we need to shut off the water supply, inevitably none of these original valves are fully shutting off the water. They leak. I bought a 5-pack of these valves during the pandemic when I had to change a kitchen faucet. They are all metal, sturdy, and only require 1/4 turn to easily shut the supply on/off. I'm pretty handy and these were easy to install. You can either use the original lock nut and ferrule, or put a new one on. You might need a puller to get an old ferrule off if you go that route. These new valves are well worth it. I've now installed 4 of the 5 in the package and they're all working perfectly. And I'm about to use up the fifth one, so I'm reordering a new package so that I always have a spare set of shutoff valves for when I need to replace another old one. Highly recommended.

I am a home DIY who does occasional plumbing repairs. This is the first time I am using this product, and the main reason is that the knob is longer and easier to turn. I installed several a few months ago; no problem during installation, and no leak for the past few months. Since this is the first time I am using it, I don't know its long term reliability.

Me da la impresión que las llaves de paso angular que se instalan a compresión (con barrilito) que hay en el mercado no son muy confiables; de 4 que he instalado 2 me fallaron sin mucho uso. Hay muy buenas y de hecho mejores llaves angulares de paso en el mercado (Urrea o Helvex por ejemplo) pero son del tipo roscable (1/2"npt), no instalabe a compresión. De la revisión de esta llave me parece que, la gran diferencia, es que la bola (la parte central que hace el cierre al paso del agua) efectivamente es de acero inoxidable, por lo que se espera funcione bien por buen tiempo. Funcionó bien pero habrá que probarla con el tiempo. Respecto de la salida de la llave 3/8" a compresión no hay problema, pues efectivamente embona bien con las mangueras de agua de 3/8" que se venden en México; se quita el barrilito de 3/8 y la tuerca y en su vez se pone la manguera. Me imagino viene también con barril a compresión por si se quiere instalar directo al tubo pero no es necesario, con la manguera queda bien. La conexión de entrada a la lleva de 1/2" sí va directo al tubo.
