DAN SPEED 1.5" NPT Female Threaded Full Port Ball Valve with Blue Vinyl Lever Handle,316 Stainless Steel,WOG1000(1-1/2 Inch)

Neat quality made of stainless steel, precise specs and close fit

Worked for my application.

Great

I bought seven of those ball valves to construct an additional home well-water filtering system in my basement. All 6 of those installed were leaking. The well-water tank has the water pressure around 50 psi, and I believe that the leaking could be caused by the non-standardized threads of the female fittings in the ball valves. When I was connecting the values with Steel-to-CPVC adapters, I found that the male threads of the adapters were hard to reach more than 2-quarters depth of the female fittings in the valves. I am not the professional plumber and at the time thought that combining the tape and the thread sealant, it could be able to mitigate the issue of the non-standardized threads but eventually it won't be able to help stop the leak. I had to cut off the pipes and use the CPVC ball valves instead. Before cutting those off from the system, I tried several ways to mitigate the leaks by wrapping tapes around the thread fittings, applying PVC cement upon the tape, and also epoxy paste but all failed to stop the leaking - a complete waste of time and money!

Easy to thread onto other pipe without any leakage. But the valve itself leaks badly. I used it at the end of a fire hose hookup with a cap on it so the leak was stopped by the cap. So not really a problem for my setup but would not work for a situation where you would need to depend on the valve for complete shut off of water. I think the valve I received was possibly just a rare defective valve but like I said, it worked for my situation. Edit: I'm now giving this valve 5 stars. I removed the handle and rotated the valve several times. There must have been something caught up in the valve. I did not flush the line to clear any debris that may have been in the line as suggested in installation instructions. My fault for being in a hurry. The valve works perfectly!

you'll need some leverage... holy cow. they do close, contrary to some reviews... but they need to be torn down and lubricated if you want smooth operation.

I was tired of replacing PVC and brass valves on the ranch. These are holding up sooo much better.

Great valves and priced great.

Seems like good quality everything threaded together very nicely! Time will tell ?

MUY RECOMENDABLE

Great valve at a good price,better then expected

works just fine on a smoker
