Good valve at a good price

These are more economical than buying them in the big box stores for a comparable valve. Installed them in my own house. So far so good. I'm a contractor so I need reliable valves for my customers and these will work well for me.

Most Liked Negative Review

just ok.

Purchased two of these. The first one leaked at the seam in the cast housing. I replaced it with the second one and it works fine. I'm not a plumber so it's possible I over heated the fitting. Be sure to tighten the packiing nut under the valve handle after soldering.

Ball Valves are the best for water shut off.

These are a good quality valve for a great price. They are smooth operating and low maintenance. Highly recommend buying a few to keep on the shelf for when the other old style shut off valves start leaking again.

Valves are a great value and function well

These valves work great and perform as expected. The handle is a little bit smaller than some of the competition but it's more than adequate as a 3/4" ball valve does not require significant force to close.

Take off the handle and tighten the packing nut under it. If there is no packing nut, tighten the nut that holds the handle on because the handle acts as the packing nut

You probably can't. More than likely the valve was overheated during the sweating and the plastic bushing inside was melted. The valve should be installed in the open position and care should be taken not to overheat the valve.

Tighten the packing nut.

Yes you can take them apart. It's a good thing too because they leak from the factory seal.

Q: Since this part (HV075SLF) is labeled as “Lead Free”, what is the maximum acceptable lead content in these valves? I'm looking for the actual percentage guaranteed by the manufacturer. And my second question: What is the Lead content for the part number HV075S ? **Just to clarify I'm not interested what the Law states, just what the manufacturer is willing to guarantee... Thank you.

This is lead free compliant with the new laws, which means it is less than .25% of the wetted surface area. A more specific figure is unavailable.

Q: I am installing a new boiler and looking to purchase 1 1/2" sweat ball valves. I have used the threaded ball valves in the past. Using the sweat valve do I need to take the valves apart? My fear is damaging the teflon inside the valve during the soldering process. Is there a chance of over heating the valve body while soldering? Is there a special soldering flux and solder used for the larger valves? Thanks

I have never taken apart ball valves to solder and have never had a problem, however I have started taking off the handle and loosening the packing nut, and then retightening it after the valve cools. I use 50/50 solder on valves because it has a lower melting point.

I just did this actually, close the ball valve and use the solder paste flux (it comes in a tube it is flux with micro solder pieces in it, works really cool). Make sure your joints are really clean and scuffed, put your flame on the collar part only rotating around until you solder sucks in. When you have a nice bead around the rim stop and let it cool down completely before opening the ball. If you can the second side will go faster if you do it before the first side cools down. But don't open valve until both cooled down.

Hi, Full disclosure... I'm not a plumber, but have done a lot of soldering in various home and rental properties. If you're not careful you can damage the seal... I have! There is no way I know of to disassemble and reassemble. Follow these steps and you should be fine. Clean fittings well, use plenty of a tinned flux, make sure the valve is open so expanded gases can escape vesus blowing out the seals. Use a MAPP torch vs propane to heat quickly. Move torch around the valve body to distribute heat more evenly. Once you see a hint of green flame color near the joint, remove the flame and touch the solder to the far side of the joint. Good luck. Kevin

I had the same question when I started, did a bunch of research. The answer is no, you don't have to take the valve apart to sweat solder them. They are specifically made of materials to withstand the soldering process (just don't go way overheating them). I've lost count of how many I've done that way now, no problems with any of them. Also, I found a bunch of professionals that said always sweat with the valve in the open position, and an equal number of professionals that said always sweat with the valve in the closed position, and a few that said doesn't matter. My conclusion was to sweat with the valve closed to eliminate the small possibility that a solder run would cause a problem with closing the valve, though that would indicate using too much solder and was not in fact ever close to an issue in my experience. Doesn't matter how clean they look, always clean them (& the pipe/fitting to mate) with steel wool or one of the wire brushes made for the purpose, and use separate brush-on flux. Joe

You can over heat any valve, but they are made to be soldered with out taking them apart and you do not have to use special solder or flux. I have install many with no trouble. Thank You, Sky Feaster, Master Plumber A Pipe Surgeon, Inc

No Special materials. No disassembly. Use a map torch heat and sweat quick. Let solder solidify and cool valve body with damp rag. Chris

When you sweat a ball valve with Teflon there is a chance of overheating, I usually wrap the valve in a wet rag and keep the heat at a minimum. I now am a FAN of the Propress system. We have a large complex and because of the age we can't always shut off the water 100%. Thank You Propress

No need to take it apart, but don't overheat it. Test the surface with your solder as you're heating it and lit it flow. Alan

No. There is no cement for gluing PVC to brass. Probably the wrong pipe OD to fit also, but no point in going there. Use a FIP (female pipe thread) threaded ball valve and PVC MIP (male pipe thread) adapter if you want to use a brass ball valve. There are PVC ball valves available too, which will cement nicely directly onto PVC pipe. Joe

No it will not cement to pvc. This is ment to solder to copper pipe.

no you would have to use a 1 1/4 pvc male adapter and also an 1 1/4 threaded valve

absolutely not. Sweat means solder. This valve is for copper pipe only. If you need to put a valve in pvc, use a full union pvc ball valve which you can use pvc glue, not abs glue and not rubber cement... stop by a home depot with questions like this!

A truly unconventional way to use those items - bonding PVC to brass.  Use a copper X male adapter (WP4-20) and a female PVC to pipe adapter.

It should be. Glycol is pretty friendly to the parts in this valve David

I use similar valves at near boiling temperatures with tap water.

Was this review helpful to you?
- Another PexSupply Customer

I would expect it is, I have never known a valve to not be compatible with glycol. I would guess the soldering process is hotter to the seal than glycol temperatures can reach. I have serviced glycol solar systems for 30 years. Your customer can contact me directly.

Was this review helpful to you?
- Another PexSupply Customer

Thats a mixed answer.... the short answer is yes..... However all systems that have gl in them will more that likely start to leak in places that would not leak in water only systems. Flush and clean the system before adding the glycol....proceed w/ caution. kpc

I have used these valves in my house, they are good enough for my purpose.They can be used for water, gases, and oils, this one is 1/2" in and 1/2" out and you need to solder (sweat) it in place. Its brass and good for 600psi.. This is probably good enough for your application, but you need to find out what is the constant temp rating of the valve. I would use a valve that can handle twice as much as I am putting thru it, and go with a threaded valve, if its for industrial application s, for ease of r&r, and   s /s,  just because it will take on more abuse and has higher operating specs.   The best thing for you to do is to contact the valve manufacture and ask them for the valve spcs. The valve manufacturer along with your glycol producer should be the ONLY ones you should consult regarding what fluids and what type of valves/pumps etc, are compatible with each other. If this is an established business/ operation, why don't you just take the valve mfg # and serial # ( if theres one) and replace it with a propper replacement or an approved alternative? R.R.
