Hi All,
I need to replace the valve that serves as the main shutoff for all water entering my house. The handle broke off of the ancient one. Since they are not too expensive, I'd like to put in the best possible replacement.
I was considering a ball valve with a sturdy handle. I like having a big handle that only needs to turn 90 degrees rather than the multi-turn gate valve that it is replacing.
Is there a reason not to use that type or is another type preferred?
Thanks,
Greg
