Take a few minutes for your customer

I don't know who packaged this but it's good that I looked closely - the item wasn't even in the box, and the small one Plastic disc fused to the envelope. It was definitely a return thrown in an envelope.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Negative exists

Easy to install and operate

These self-piercing valves are not considered the best solution as they can clog over time, but they are fairly easy to install (no soldering required) and work just fine. In my case I replaced an old valve of the same type and had no problems.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Expensive

Worked great and quick

Ice maker lines installed. It was easy to install and there was no leakage with the right hoses. Remember that if you are using plastic/vinyl tubing you will need to use a plastic/vinyl compression fitting. Copper compression fittings cut plastic tubing.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • 0

Quick and easy on a 1/2 inch copper water line

I used this to hook up a reverse osmosis water purifier to a countertop and it worked pretty well. I ended up drilling a 3/8" hole in the line to save point on the block, but it has been running for months now and is supplying plenty of water to the reverse osmosis unit. Quick and easy installation.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Communication with Seller

It didn't work and had to be replaced with another brand.

I bought it because it didn't contain lead. Luckily I ordered a backup after reading the reviews that it was a good idea. The handyman who came to our house commented on how good this valve was and laughed that I have a second one. In the end, however, he removed that one and installed a second one. He couldn't get it to work at all. He thought she had punctured the pipe, but obviously she hadn't done her job.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

Used to feed water to a humidifier

The previous poppet valve was installed 15 years ago on a copper pipe to feed the humidifier. When the water heater was changed this year it must have been clogged so I plugged the outlet with a 1/4 brass plug in case it doesn't clog in the future. I didn't want to risk replacing this valve with a new one. I installed this new valve with no problems (turn the valve knob fully counterclockwise before starting). Just try to make sure both bolts are tightened about the same amount before you…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No output
