Willapa Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Anyone order from them? I ordered a bunch on schedule 80 union ball valves a couple of years back and they still work great with constant use. The only one that started to stick a bit was the one hooked up to a reactor that stays barely opened and got calcified. But took almost 2 years before needing a cleaning. The ones used routinely for on off switching have no issues at all. I'm sure the cepex ones are great but can't spend $25 a pop. For comparison, a 1" one from PVC online is $15. I used these on my manifold. I'm currently plumbing a closed loop and didn't want these bulky ones, so tried their "compact deluxe" ball valves and they turn really well and only $5 for a 1". That's less expensive than the low bin ones at Lowe's.I did splurge on a 1" Spears gate valve for a bean overflow. They had these for $30. The shipping can get you so you have to order quite a few things to make it worth it. They also have a ton of obscure PVC parts. I wish I would have added in a check valve for my return line in my order but didn't think about it.
