Brasscraft G2CR19X C1 1/2-Inch NOM Compression x 3/8-Inch OD Compression 1/4-Turn Valve, Chrome Plated

I like this quarter turn valve, it looks really good and it is working great.

This is a decent valve. More and more often I end up buying hardware from Amazon because the pricing is the same, it's delivered to your door, and you get to skip the "moron-athon" at your local hardware store. However, I am giving you a WARNING that may save you some grief. If you are replacing 25 year old multi-turn valves with these, even though the size is the same...they are NOT. Internally, the size of the ferrule and dimensions required to seal are different. Here is what will happen: you'll pull off your old valve and discover you can't get the ferrule off. Out of desperation, you'll try to reuse the old ferrule and it will leak. My suggestion is to buy a 1/2 inch compression sleeve puller BEFORE YOU START. These can be had on Amazon for 11 or 12 bucks with free delivery. Also, just to be prepared for the worst, get yourself a foot of 1/2 inch copper pipe and a couple of sweat fittings. My valves were fine, I was just replacing them because they're old and the sink and faucet were getting replaced. My point is that you could go from no leak to a (potentially) serious leak, just by not being prepared. I'm shutting up now, just trying to save somebody an emergency trip to the hardware store (which I did not enjoy)...:)

easy install, good value

VERY EASY TO INSTALL AND USE.

I needed to replace some bathroom sink valves, and when I went to turn off the under-sink shutoff valves I found the shutoff valves to leak badly from their shaft packing. I decided to replace the shutoff valves and ordered these right-angle 1/4 turn stopcocks. I found these to be well constructed and of good quality. Installed without any difficulty and when the system was re-pressurized, they worked like a champ, no leaks, and good flow rate when opened.
