316 Stainless Steel 1/8"~3" Full Port Ball Valve with Blue Vinyl Handle, NPT Female x Female Thread,1000 WOG (2 Inch)

Great price. Installed, won't know how it works until irrigation season. replacing a worn-out leaky gate valve.

Installed over a year ago and its working well still

The valve came promptly and in good condition and exactly as described.

Ordered 12 and every single one of them leak. Highly disappointed.

I water my garden using IBC containers. The ball valve handle at the bottom of one of my containers snapped off, so I used this valve as a screw on replacement. It does fit my tank but it is leaky even with Teflon tape. Probably 3 drips per second. Ideally I would’ve preferred it not leak at all so that I can fill my tanks and leave them full so they will last until a day that the garden needs water. In this scenario, I have to fill them on the evening I plan to water. In that case, the valve restricts the water enough to be useful. And it helps that I can directly connect my 2” draft hose for my harbor freight water pump so that I’m pulling from the bottom rather than the top. All things considered, I will order another for my non-broken tank just so that I can draft from the bottom and maximize my watering. I would not buy this if it was for plumbing indoors where leaks really do matter more.

ok

So far this is working perfectly. I grabbed a brass nipple to thread from this into my tank and a NPT to hose adapter so I can drain the water easily. Once the valve is opened the flow is awesome and I am now able to get a ton of crud out of my tank instead of letting it all sit in the bottom and cause issues. If you want your water heater to last longer you gotta flush that junk out and sadly the valves they include from the factory are only meant to allow you to slowly drain things. Even if my tank starts to go bad down the road I will be able to install this valve right away and have a tank that will last for years beyond it's rating.

looks like good quality have yet to use it
