I purchased this Webstone 22561 and the Everflow/Flextron FTGV-38F38F to compare them, and it's not quite as good as the Everflow. The porting is only about 9/32" (so the flow is essentially reduced to 1/4") and the aluminum handle is secured be a zinc plated screw that may be susceptible to rusting in humid environments. The handle isn't as easy to grasp, but it is more compact, so it's up to you which is more important. The casting quality is pretty similar between the two. It's not a bad standard-port valve, but the full-port and better handle on the Everflow make this a valve I'm going to reserve for when I need the more compact handle (or if the Everflow isn't in stock.)

Highlight of my holiday.
Beautiful brass body with streamlined bright red handle so nice to look at. Such a shiny ball with really smoooth operation. Would be great to play with as a toy if it weren't so good as a valve.

Sturdy. Handles over-tightening without splitting.
This was a tight installation and I had to get all the ball valves on the propane manifold clocked to match each other. On a couple of them I feel like I should have stopped one turn sooner than I did but the 1/2" valves held up fine and gave no evidence of trying to split. If they had, it would have been my fault. The valves are better than me.

IPS is synonymous with NPT. It is a threaded valve.

This would depend on code, some places require galvanized or Stainless Steel for outdoor use.
