Easy to install - just what I needed but short lived

Purchased to replace broken washing machine valves on the ends of 1/2 PVC pipe attached to a concrete block wall. They worked great when originally installed about a month ago. Unfortunately none of the valves held properly, it's only been a month and when the cold water valve is turned off it drips, just a little. The hot water valve has a nearly constant flow when closed, about a gallon per hour. They were cycled on and off at the washing machine valve more often than usual, 2-3 times a day, and they were installed upside down, and I'm sure both factors contribute. The water pressure is normal to low although it is 50psi. I wouldn't buy them again. Even if I wanted to use them lighter, a valve with such a light duty cycle seems problematic.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Minor issues
