Just what the technician ordered
Needed one for a damaged valve and it fit perfectly, so the extras will come in handy eventually.

Midline Valve's Steam Air Vents - Low Quality, Poor Value.
If you pay less for a product, it's normal to consider it a better value. But when the product you are buying is a low quality knockoff, it can actually be much worse value. Such is the case with these steam valves, that are only worth considering as paper weights or decorative items.The listing is a little misleading. Hoffman is in the name, but scrolling through the product information clarifies that they are "Hoffman style." That's like if somebody built a car in their garage and advertised it as "Tesla style." These may be similar looking to valves made by Hoffman, but they are not in any way similar quality.In terms of the install, they install easily as does any other valve. But the internals are completely inadequate. They are essentially doing the opposite of what you would want good steam valves to do.CONCLUSIONThis kind of mislabeled knock-off is not unique to online. I found some similar junk at several large big box repair stores. Beware that you are getting the actual quality product made by the actual company that is listed. In this case, save your time.

Replacement worse than bad first shipment
2 of 5 valves first sent did not work. I asked for replacement. l Just received another 5. NONE of 5 work. Rediculous! Either inferior product or recycling defective product. So I'm sending back the replacements and want you to send me proper replacements. Maybe l may find 2 good ones next try.

Do not purchase, 5 of 5 faulty
Valves do not regulate, they remain open 100% of the time. Waist of my efforts, money and heating fuel.
