Review on Universal Plumbing Handle Emergency Replacement One by Eric Smithlin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

That saved the day! best in faucet valves

The handle on my sprinkler check ball valve which is 2 feet underground broke. It can be accessed through a 2'3" PVC pipe and I use a T-handle wrench to turn it on or off. I had to shut off the water from the sprinkler system for the winter. Help from George Morlun, the local company Ace Hardware and the local utility installation, was useless.I was told that I would need to replace the valve, which was a very difficult task as it was very close to the sprinkler system control valve box, municipal water meter/meter and GTE box.A Nightmare work as it requires a lot of digging a big and deep hole to replace the valve and work on the previously mentioned obstacles I found a YouTube video where a guy showed his grip through has replaced a replacement mandle grip.The only change I would make to the product is to make the ends, which you tighten with a hex wrench, hex so you can also tighten them with a to tighten wrenches.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • so far so good
