Discuss Gate Valves turning - or are they balls? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
I will use them from now on sounds like they are awesome. Never even seen them before.Those are the best pump valves you can get. They will always close fully, and won't seize, or weep.
I have used them and keep some as spares.
They are basically identical to full flow lever valves, only top quality.
The ball will not be damaged if turned lots and the seal is hard ptfe.
Only one drawback of them is the large pump nut cannot be removed or replaced, like with ordinary pump gate valves.
The spindle should be flat side parallel with valve.
Strange you have to ask that question when you are the person who installed them though!
I've seen spherical pump valves before. Seized solid, mind you this was at a house I lived in in 1995, so perhaps the new ones will be better?
Am I right thinking the pic is of a multi-turn valve? That's what it looks like. What make is it please?
