Good half inch ball valve for PEX pipe.

Good half inch ball valve for PEX pipes. It has the correct spikes for PEX inlet and outlet. The finish is good with no burrs or sharp edges. The valve is tight and works smoothly. It's about in the middle of the price range, but the quality is better than the cheap ones.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No show

Clean, made of brass and fits 1/2 " PEX

This is a good option for a 1/2" PEX valve. I have it on the cold water supply line to the outdoor water heater. The ends fit my 1/2" PEX perfectly. The connectors are smooth, there are no burrs on the edges to scratch something. The handle on the valve is smooth, easy to operate, clearly open or fully closed. In the Compared to the options around me in stores it's an average or slightly lower price - brass - and worth it for the quality.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Expensive compared to hardware store

Lately I've seen a lot of generic sanitary ware from unknown Chinese companies. I've tried a few, hit or miss, and found some that contain an alarming amount of lead. Watts is an American company that is time-tested and has demonstrated consistent quality control. This ball valve is exactly as expected with reliable quality, brass and lead free. At your local hardware store (1/2 x 1/2 PEX ball valve with fitting) is about $8 each.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
