WHAT IS THE BEST ANGLE VALVE quarter turn or multi turn

[@louiswhite1445]

I am so glad I watched this because I am renovating my house and wanted to see how those valves work. I'm going back with the old school valves that are there now. Thanks. Great video.

[@FHOFHO2424]

Thank you, sir, for the demonstration and your honesty☺️

Just bought 20 quarter turn valves from from HD, returned. Went back to Amazon quarter turn BALL VALVE made out of metal. They work great

[@aslo4812]

The old Brass Craft full turn angle stops lasted 25-30 years. The stem was solid brass. They remade them not to last as long. If you were to manufacture them again you could make a lot of money.

Good demo👍

[@krungtape]

I completely agree with you sir👍👍👍 Thank you!

[@realdadgaming]

Very Informative! Kudos to you and your channel!

[@aslo4812]

People think 1/4 turn angle stops are made like a regular Brass Craft Ball Valve like we use on a water heater or main water service. You should cut those valves apart and show the difference. Please! Great video

Thanks for sharing your experience. I've never done any plumbing, but now, I don't have $ for a plumber and I'll try to do the job myself

[@almcoplumbing8374]

Plumber charge approximately $200 to replace angle valve because it’s holding whole hose pressure if something go wrong can cost $$$ It’s not hard just need carefully slow open water and check if it’s not leaking

[@fabiolalopez4060]

@@almcoplumbing8374 I tried to change it, but it's so stuck that the nut turned along with the valve about 30 degrees. But if it turned and it didn't come off, then maybe the PVC pipe that goes to the wall is the one that turned (rotated). Now, I am afraid that the seal of the pipe inside the wall has broken because of the rotation, but I don't know how to check it. Do you have any idea?

[@Splattervision-qh1sd]

No 1/4 turn valves for me. Another reason to avoid them, they can’t be repaired. You can buy a rebuild kit and put new seals in the multi turn valves without removing the valve body. Now you have a new valve and you didn’t have to shorten the pipe stub coming out of the wall to install a new valve. Most homes, you only have enough pipe / tubing to cut it once or twice to install a new valve. Just leave it alone and put new seals / stem in it. I can’t figure out the desire to go to 1/4 turns. It takes 5 seconds longer to close a multi turn valve….who cares?

[@agostinodibella9939]

I kind of believe that anything made today does not have the quality of the products made 30 or 40 years ago.

[@ryanfrizz]

Tell me that after trying to use a 30 year old multi turn angle stop lol. Rubber plungers that disintegrate the second you breath on them and flood houses. Or galvanized steel water lines that get so caked in rust the water path is the size of a pinhole lol. Some things like water heaters aren’t as good as they used to be, but we’ve come a long way in a lot of categories

[@Rhaspun]

@@ryanfrizz Yes. I had that problem with the rubber washer starting to disintegrate in the stop valve. I had to replace a 20- year old faucet cartridge and I could barely wiggle the valve. It couldn't shut off the water. It was a multiturn type. I found black bits in the catch screen of the outlet screen. I remember seeing videos of guys cleaning out the connector of a kitchen faucet to the feed line. They were also finding small black bits in the connector and catch screen. Thinking about it. That was probably bits from a disintegrating rubber washer. When I got the old valve out, I could see that the rubber washer was distorted from the flowing water and some of it had flowed into the faucet and outlet as black bits that I saw. I replaced the valve with a Dahl stop valve. They have a 25 year warranty.

[@almcoplumbing8374]

it's a lot grate product right now and the Ball valve is better shut be but water quality in California reale bad and destroy faster than old school

[@rogermoeller7350]

I have had the exact opposite experience. I would never use full turn due to the stems leaking and them getting stuck. If you buy a good quarter turn that has a stainless ball and stem they will last for a very long time. I put them in my house 20 years ago and they still work perfectly. I am doing an extensive reno and had to replace a pair and used brasscraft. I sweat them in place being careful not to get them too hot and now they don't shut off due to shoddy materiels.

[@almcoplumbing8374]

Maybe in your area water quality is good. In San Diego, water quality is so pure The best stainless still ball has build-up in 3-5 years

[@rogermoeller7350]

Hard water messes up all valves. I just went to turn off a multi turn valve on a main supply and it would not move. I had to loosen the packing nut to turn it. It leaked afterward.@@almcoplumbing8374

[@vinniegugger3317]

Interesting how water quality has such a different effect on the valves i have very different experience with all of those

[@garykrell2058]

Brass craft and Eastman are good makers of angle stops

[@TheTruth.K.J.V.]

The old brass stem multiturn stems were great and lasted forever. Even had replaceable gaskets. The new plastic stems FAIL over time due to the chorine in the water. Mine have about 10 years and SNAP OFF when trying to tighten down or open. None are perfect. Where possible I always get brass stems in 1/4 turn. AND make sure the main WATTS type 1/4 turn valves are ez to access just in case or just turn them off and use the smaller valve to limit the water in the lines from coming out...even under no pressure.

[@mikedoingmikethings702]

I am here searching about the “quarter turn angle valve” because it is clogged. Our house is only 6 years old and it already failed! He is right, the quarter turn angle shut off valve is junk!

[@400sbc5]

BrassCraft copied Dahl. Anyone who knows the Canadian market knows this. Dahl makes the best supply stops in North America.
