What is the maximum temperature for hot water for this valve?

Answer This Question

Hello, PVC ball valves are not designed for hot water applications, but are for cold water pressure applications only. Prior to starting your project, it is recommended to check local codes to ensure all environmental conditions are taken into consideration for a long-lasting and leak proof installation. We hope this helps with your project.

    Answer This Question

    Hello, this valve is designed to work with Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Any PVC pipe labeled as 1-1/2-in sold by The Home Depot will connect to this valve. The actual I.D. of the inlet and outlet is 1.91-in. Prior to starting your project, we recommend checking local plumbing codes to ensure a water-tight and long-lasting installation. We hope this helps with your project.

        What size PVC pipe (e.g. 1/2",3/4" 1") does this 3/4" valve work with?
        ByFeb 18, 2021
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hello, If you are measuring the pipe the outside diameter will be larger than 3/4". But the pipe will be marked 3/4". Note you cannot use PVC fittings or valves with CPVC pipe.

          I bought one of these and one side of the handle broke off. How do I swap out the handle on the valve?

          Answer This Question

          If you remove the center cap and move the handle part of the way, the old handle can be taken out and a new one put in. You likely will have to buy a new valve just to get the handle however. I'm looking into lubricating since it's hard to turn.

            I do not think you can change it. If there is a small cap in the middle pry that out and there should be a screw that secures it. The newer ones I think are glued in place.

                I needed to install a 1.5" ball valve in a fairly tight spot and this valve fit the bill. Well made with smooth action, in installed easily and does what I needed.

                Got 2 of these to make a custom pool filter distribution rig from Intex skimmer to Intex pump and from 1-1/4in vacuum hose to pump. It works great but it was a PITA to figure out the connection between INTEX threads, the pool hoses and the PVC lines. Please make adapters. This stuff can't be difficult to make and it will sell. Had to use rubber hoses to connect.

                just installed these (2”)
                So far i have no complaints. Easy to instal and i can some what agree the handle is very tight and a little hard to turn but if you have some strength its manageable. As far as dependability this is day 1 so if u have any issues i will come back. I used this to put together a more permanent working system for my above ground pool.

                  The valve works very well but is difficult to turn. Otherwise, it's a great product.

                  I installed two of these in my yard for outdoor showers. They started leaking from the middle circle of the valve handle within a month and both are difficult to turn. Now I have to cut my showers apart to remove them both and replace...NOT with this brand!

                    As almost everybody else has mentioned, these valves leak. I bought 3 (image attached) and one of them immediately started leaking. It only leaks when it's open and the pressure in that section of the pipe is 60 PSI. Kudos to the manufacturer for responding to all the leak complaints and offering customers to call them for warranty replacements. Unfortunately this doesn't help because nobody is really interested in getting their $3 back. They want to solve the other problems now associated with this leak: You have to cut the valve out of the pipe. Spend time repairing it and possibly getting more sections of your existing piping and other parts just to get this valve replaced. And what if the replacement valve leaks as well? You're back at the beginning and have wasted all that time. I have 2 questions for the manufacturer: - Can these valves be repaired "in situ"? - i.e. without removing them from the pipe can I repair it? I don't mind buying another valve from Home Depot and using the parts from it to do the repair. I just don't want to have to cut that valve out of the pipe and replace it with another that could also be faulty. - How do you test your valves? Based on the number of comments on this product leaking seems to be a serious problem with them. What is your quality control to ensure that the shipped valves don't leak through the handle?
