Btw, calif regs has banned the good plumbing parts. Depot brass stuff is actually ok.[/quote]
Let me guess. miniscule amount of lead in brass?

1/4 turn is the best. Fast and they are ball valves as opposed to the gate and seat type which tend to leak at the stem /and/or get corroded stuck.[/quote]
The reason I ask is , I’ve been putting in 1/4 turn brasscrafts on my rentals….But today I went to go buy some for my parents home, the Home Depot guy insisted I get the full turn versus the 1/4 turn … he told me he’s a plumber by trade also.and that he’s seen a lot of the 1/4 turn fail much earlier than the full turn, so he strongly recommended I get the #34 full turn versus the #35 1/4 turn
BTW… I am still surprised this lasted 39years… I guess they don’t make these like they use to…[img_assist|nid=26801|title=supply line|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=800]
