Review on DERNORD Stainless Steel Mini Ball Valve NPT Thread Female (1/2" Female&Female) by Michael Bryan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nicer than it needed to be.

I have a vehicle that required a TSB update to the PCV system. The updated system did indeed remove more blowby from the engine, but was also pulling far too much vaporized oil and filling the catch can in about 50mi. Since manufacturing of this vehicle ceased shortly after the TSB release, I am assuming it was never looked at again otherwise mother Mopar would have offered yet another TSB.I fit this valve in to the vacuum side of the system to throttle some of that vacuum back for a happy medium between OEM and the TSB update. The catch can is still collecting more moisture than the old system but not so much that I am wasting a $12qt of AMSOIL in every 100mi. The valve has smooth action, and a polished finish that is far more than this pavement pounder deserves! So not its intended purpose, but I am pleased with the result.

Pros
  • Valves are heavy for their size, turn smoothly.
Cons
  • The thread size may not be compatible with all applications, limiting its versatility
