Revainrating 5 out of 5

product gem!

What impressed me the most was the quality of the product. even the packaging is top notch. It was wrapped in soft polythene foam, "paper", so as not to scratch the chrome finish. The wrapped valve was in a double plastic bag. The inside wall is a thicker version of wrapping paper and the outside wall is standard bubble wrap (1/4" bubbles). TO, in turn, came in a bag with an even thicker version of the bandage, with a nylon drawstring. And it was in one Corrugated box.If a manufacturer is so proud of their product that they package it this way, they will no doubt take the same care in manufacturing it.The valve is cast brass and fully chrome plated.This requires teflon tape on the threads of the fittings and a good silicone, nylon or rubber washer for a good seal. Be sure to wrap the Teflon tape clockwise around the threads to ensure the tape tightens around the threads when the tube fitting is screwed onto the valve body. Note for reviewers who have complained that it doesn't provide "suction". You're right! It's NOT a "pump", it's a "valve" that comes with a long Foot pedal works, not with a handle. All it does is stop or allow water to flow from inlet to outlet. It doesn't pump water. Notice to reviewers who have complained about valve leaks. straight rear connection. The water tap must be connected to the top corner connector on the top of the unit. The water pressure helps keep the valve closed. When you connect a pressurized supply to the top corner port, the water pressure pushes against the spring, lifting the valve from its seat and allowing water through. If the foot lever is broken or bent, it must be fixed to the floor. The design is such that when the end of the lever reaches the bottom, the valve is fully open. no, because the valve is completely open and can no longer be opened. Pressing the lever harder will simply bend or break the lever. If you installed the unit on a higher base, this area should reach the end of the foot pedal to keep it away from anyone standing on it. You can change the amount of water flowing by only partially pressing the lever. Path. But it can be difficult for many users. The overall stroke of the valve is small, and just a small initial movement is enough to allow a large volume of water to pass.
