1/4" Brass Ball Valve - Full Port 600WOG for Water, Oil, and Gas with Blue Handle

Am using this valve in an irrigation system with low pressure.The valve works perfectly with no leaks. The full port feature is important to me to provide low resistance and high flow.I am considering replacing my gate valves (that leak) with this valve (that doesn't leak).

These valves are of high quality and sturdy. They work smoothly and shut off completely. They are also resonably priced including shipping. You won't find a better valve around for the price.The company is good to work with. I had a problem and they initiated a solution immediately. I was really shocked at the resolution and pleased.

I needed a 3” ball valve for my water truck. The valve was received 3 days after placing order. The valve was a perfect replacement and works great!

I used this valve to replace a unit that broke after a recent freeze. It isn't quite as beefy as the Apollo valve it's replacing but it works great and seems to be of good quality. Best of all, it was available. In my city freezes aren't common so a lot of people had the same problem I had and were caught by surprise. The first weekend of good weather that came along, all the local retail joints sold out.13-Aug-2018 Update: After running with this valve for a while, I see that there is some evidence of rust around the handle. The valve itself seems to be fine, and the problem seems to be the nut holding the handle in. I will keep an eye on this and possibly replace the nut with a waterproof one but I shouldn't have had to.27-Apr-2021 Update: So in Houston we famously had a few days of freeze in the time of Covid, how wonderful. This ball valve could not handle it. I did have it wrapped with some thick newspapers and covered with a bag but apparently it wasn't enough as when I went to turn the water back on in the spring, it leaked at one of the joints. Contrast this to the thicker Apollo valve that weathered it better with about the same amount of wrapping.The good news is that the rusty nut I mentioned earlier never really ended up being a problem. In any event, the valve did give me decent service for a couple years and since a couple of the plastic pipes broke I'll have to do several replacements. If not for concerns about inclement weather I would have used this again. Although I could have conceivably done a better job of wrapping it up, I will be looking for a stronger replacement.

Nice valve!Installed in my boat so that I can shut off the fuel when changing the filter in the Cool Fuel module otherwise it tries to siphon the gas from the tanks which ends up in the bilge...not good.

Needed to control water flow to various hoses, sprinklers, etc. Found the ‘garden’ hose splitters either leaked or were too hard to turn off/on. Built this from scratch with 1/2’ NOT brass pile & fittings. Valves are easy to turn, shut-off well and easy to see what is off and what is on. Very happy.

Quality

Similar in size for replacement, longer handle for easier operation and cost a little less than the competition . Not as bulky as the old. Let’s hope it will last.
