Review on πŸ”§ Mueller 107 823NL Full Port Valve: Superior Control and Reliability for Your Plumbing Needs by Rob Dixon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I may have just received a lemon

This appeared to be a decent quality valve (although made in China), trademarked, UL listed etc. However, the valve I received had quality issues: 1) Upstream The 3/4" FIP fitting was leaking on the threads. 2) The downstream FIP threads were drilled off center to the fitting. 3) The small packing nut was dented before the locking handle was installed. 4) The hex head screws on both ends of the Castings are too big for a 15/16" wrench but too small for a 1" wrench (which just rounds them up).

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Was damaged
