Review on 💪 The Ultimate Guide to American Valve M76QT Quarter 4 Inch: Functional, Reliable, and Versatile by Todd Cowdrey

I want maximum water volume on some of my hose bibs. I use a 3/4" hose and don't want the water flow to be restricted by the hose barb. This hose bibb ball valve has virtually no restrictions by opening and closing the water flow with a ball. The hose bib isn't that strong angled down like most hose bibs, which also means less restriction of water flow. The ball valve lever only rotates 90 degrees to fully open. The lever is long enough to be rotated easily. Traditional hose bibs require a few twists. The regular hose bib has a water seal and usually the seal fails within 2-3 years.The bolt holding the seal can break when replacing the seal if you can find a spare seal.I have never had a Hose Bibb ball valve fail I have had many conventional tube bibs fail due to a stem seal or gasket that restricts the flow of water. I don't remember ever finding any parts. Since my regular bibs are failing, I replace them with ball valve bibs.
