Works well.: Security

Yes, it works. But not so easy to install. I think it replaced the one I just wore out. The earlier ones have flashing lights that tell you if the valve is open or closed. The lights still brought me no pleasure. So it's better.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Big and chunky

As you say, the installation is very simple. If you want to install the built-in version beforehand.

Answer to "works, but". Mounting in a line from the corner stop to the instrument is an advantage, not a "disadvantage". As you say, the installation is very simple. If you want to queue in front of the corner stop, there are various other offers from the same company.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Negative impression

I love this flood stop.

We had a major disaster where our old dishwasher started to leak causing thousands of dollars of damage to our hardwood floor. I decided that this would not happen to me again. Bought this and a dishwasher safe plastic pan that sits under the dishwasher. Place the sensor in the pallet you just bought. It doesn't take much water to get the sensor to close the valve. It's easy to turn off the water when I'm out of town. I love the security this item offers.

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Update Available

Works, but. on household sensors and alarms

This valve works as promised but the outlet side of the valve body is not machined for a compression fitting. So only a flexible hose can be connected to it, which is not as tight as a solid copper line. This design flaw was not listed in the description. Also, the kit I received included instructions for installing and using a different model of FloodStop check valve. Luckily, this device is easy enough to set up for anyone with modest plumbing experience that no instructions are required.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Compatibility
