Excellent Valve, Great design
I will admit I have little experience with "laundry" valves other than this one. I am familiar with valves in general, and have done my own plumbing for 25 years, have done work for many friends and usually get delegated as building maintenance wherever I have worked. (copper, brass, PVC, and PEX) That being said I had this exact valve in my current home (with acidic water that puts pinholes in copper) for what must have been over 25 years before the acidic water finally got to it. As if that is not good enough, I love the design.... there are 2 brass elbows that get sweated on to your 1/2 copper feed lines. And the body of the valve is attached to those elbows by the 2 big screws you see in the pic. There are grommets between the elbows and the valve body and grommets under the heads of the screws. The really convenient thing about this set up is that if the valve itself goes bad from hard or acidic water you can just unscrew it from the elbows and screw the new valve on the old elbows with fresh grommets. Literally a 5 minute job. The new valve does come with elbow pieces if yours are bad or you're doing a new installation. In my particular case not only was my old valve beginning to leak but I replaced my cold water feed line as well. So I ended up using one of the new elbows and have a spare. The hot water side where I left the old elbow on fit the new valve perfectly and no leaks. So great design. Great quality valve. Would use no other after this experience.
