10Pcs EFIELD Straight Stop Valve,1/2"Nom(5/8"OD) Comp x3/8"OD(VALVE122-10)

I am a service contractor who makes repairs frequently, I use valves all the time , these seem pretty nice for the price, fast shipping too.

My local Lowe's sells a different brand of these for $13.60. These work perfectly at a fraction of the cost.

I'm replacing a 1/4 turn ball valve that is about 17 yrs old but used maybe 4 times. The stem broke and won't turn off. Exercising these frequently may be the solution to longevity.I bought this brand (EFIELD) because of the comments, they have a metal ball. Sure enough they have a metal ball. Unfortunately they also have a plastic handle which can be a longevity problem if you read other reviews. These valves also appear to have metal stems which is a plus. If the handle breaks you could at least get a small crescent wrench on the stem.Only time will tell if they hold up.They are made in China, couldn't find one from Lowes, Home Depot or Amazon made elsewhere.

Easy to useUnfortunately I split Two of the compression nuts and has to disassemble.Now have leaks

The side of the valve which connects to the 1/2" copper pipe was very difficult to seal. I ended up discarding oneI was unable to keep from dripping. Once sealed, they work well.

Was a direct replacement and leak free

They work fine happy with the purchase

I used it on the supply line for my toilet. Easy turn off , only 1/4 turn . Works great .
