Review on πŸ”§ Enhancing Fluid Control: Banjo Polypropylene Valve - Standard Female by John Destruction

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy good quality little valve

The water tanks I use to collect rainwater have 2" threaded holes in the bulkhead near the base. I needed three of these valves. Nipples (short hose with threads on both ends) to connect the valves to the tank. The day the parts arrived I had three new empty tanks and the first rain in weeks was looming. Fifteen minutes later, one of the valves and nipple was attached to the first tank, the valve was closed and ready to collect water (you can't add a fitting after there's water in the tank!). The valve has a very solid construction, does not leak. The handle opens and closes the valve easily and smoothly. The power required is modest. I mentioned three valves (and tanks). Unfortunately, two valves were the wrong size, 1.5 inches in diameter. They look very similar to 2" valves but are clearly marked 1.5". Whoever picked up/packed my order received the wrong size. So a little more trouble with the post. them back to Revain, plus waiting for a replacement (and missed rain) But it's worth it in the long run.

Pros
  • Ball valves
Cons
  • I will add later
