DAN SPEED 1" NPT Female SS 316 Stainless Steel Full Port Ball Valve Vinyl Handle WOG1000

Easy to thread onto other pipe without any leakage. But the valve itself leaks badly. I used it at the end of a fire hose hookup with a cap on it so the leak was stopped by the cap. So not really a problem for my setup but would not work for a situation where you would need to depend on the valve for complete shut off of water. I think the valve I received was possibly just a rare defective valve but like I said, it worked for my situation.Edit: I'm now giving this valve 5 stars. I removed the handle and rotated the valve several times. There must have been something caught up in the valve. I did not flush the line to clear any debris that may have been in the line as suggested in installation instructions. My fault for being in a hurry. The valve works perfectly!

i needed a valve i could leave in place for a drain rather than removing a cap that gets lost frequently. i got 2 of these. they are solid and work great.

Worked well to replace our old pool fill valve. Was a good fit and good value for price paid.

Let's just sum up!I had a valave that worked, no leaks, made of brass with a rusted off handle.I replaced with this valve, which is shorter, and has less thread depth. Let the fight begin!I had to install and remove this valve 4 times, using a ridiculous amount of teflon tape and strongarm force while tightening.Look, anybody that has done plumbing gets a feel for "tight enough". Too tight and you snap threads on the flat area of the female threaded part. The amount of force that I had to apply to the valve(just one side kept leaking) was on the edge of holy crap and bloody knuckles.I would not buy this brand again. It was not worth the hassle.For reference, I worked at a water department for over 20 years, and plumbed countless parts. There are 3 stainless valves in my plumbing going to my own house. The other two were installed at an earlier point. Only this valve gave me grief. You can see an old brass valve compared to the stainless valve.

These ball valves are functional but slightly lighter weight than the $60 models. We put together a water spray trailer and the work great.

Stainless steel item to be used on inground pool. Installed easily I"m sure it will give me years of service.

These valves are a great value! The threads are nicely cut and worked great in my application. Not sure if the tapper is standard but I would recommend any product from this seller as I have bought a half a dozen valves of different sizes and all are fine. This is a good seller!!

Good quality for the money. Have these on a 28% fertilizer applicator for 2 years and they are holding up great.
