Ball Valves versus Gate Valves


When faced with an emergency, time is often of the essence. Ball valves have proven to be much more dependable and longer lasting. Most plumbers have learned to distrust gate valves because repeated use tends to wear them out. Also, it is not uncommon for a gate valve to simply become frozen or fused in the valve body. Although the handle may turn, the actual mechanism ceases to seat. Furthermore, many people have a tendency to over-tighten the valve to ensure that the water is completely shut off. This causes damage to the internal components of the valve and can prevent the valve from stopping the water flow completely. Upgrading gate valve stops with ball valve stops is well worth the small investment to do so.
