Idk. Just the valve I picked up.Looks like a job well done.
I see you didn't invest in 1/4 turn ball valves while you were upgrading. I wonder what the professional plumbers opinion is. I hate the multi-turn valves personally. I'm no expert though.
Oh, those are garbage... they’ll leak in a couple weeks.Idk. Just the valve I picked up.

I don't care for the 1/4 turn because you can't tighten the packing nut behind the handle. And after a few years of not being used, you turn a 1/4 turn valve and 70% leak and need replacement. Plus on the multi turn you can unscrew the guts and screw in new ones.Looks like a job well done.

You big dummy.Oh, those are garbage... they’ll leak in a couple weeks.
The valves around here have an adjustment? Not using Wolverine brass are you? JUNK!I don't care for the 1/4 turn because you can't tighten the packing nut behind the handle.

Quit trying to make him second guess himself and set himself up for failure, Rick!You big dummy.

You were right no packing nut, checked this morning?I don't care for the 1/4 turn because you can't tighten the packing nut behind the handle.

Why would you doubt me? You should know better by now!You were right no packing nut, checked this morning?

Multi turn valves are good valves, they tend to not get activated because the are mostly out of sight and out of mind. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer 1/4 turn ball valves myself because of the 1/4 turn simplicity but when it comes to a valve of any kind, I try to shut them off and turn them on a couple times per year.Looks like a job well done.

Wtf @Hondasxs, no plastic into brass, no black iron pipe, no galvanized to brass, you’re my hero! I have to fix the above mentioned at least three times per week. It amazes me how people don’t think things out. Looks good!Out with the old in with the new.

Some use Teflon tape, I’d use pipe dope for the best results. 45-50 is a good range for pressure.Thansk.
I have decided to squeeze in a pressure regulator when I take it apart this week to fix the leaks.
Any pressure set suggestions? 45 is default.
Also,
I need some tips on making sure round 3 is leak free.
Thanks.
