Uponor does not make any ProPEX ball valves that are compatible with glycol. We are not sure why they do not recommend the valves with glycol, but it may have something to do with the gasket material. Our only suggestion would be to use a standard threaded ball valve with ProPEX adapters.
I called uponor today and asked this question. They told me that it is due to the material used to seat the ball valve. They said it would leak! I was told they made one but stopped due to low demand. I feel it's because they want you to buy a more expensive manifold!
Unfortunately, the handles are not available as a replacement part.
