Change an unsafe, unreliable isolating valve, for a full bore lever valve.

[@baldyslapnut.]

👍Buy Pegler valves if you want long-term reliability.

Great video AL thanks.

[@dereton33]

Thanks 👍Cheers John.

Are the innards of the new valve different from those of the old one? I assumed they were the same basic design, but one had its own handle.

[@peterevans8194]

That's very useful to know....Will a standard braided flexy tap connector fit directly to one side of these valves??

[@dereton33]

Yes it will

[@DexterXxX]

Is it safe to reuse same olives?

[@kurtthedrummingplumber]

I do it all the time. Never had a problem (I’ll regret saying that.. ).

[@Nicks-Picks]

The amount of times I've had a small bleed from those iso screws when do jobs. Doesn't help being in a hard water area. Plus with these valves you don't need to leave a screwdriver nearby incase of a suprise leak, plus it's more arthritis/carpal friendly 😊nice one as always mate (ps ignore the trolls 😂) 👍🤜🤛🍻

[@dereton33]

Thanks a lot Nicks, have a good Christmas.

Ha ha. Simply the best.

Once again Derek thanks, what are your feelings over gate valves?

[@dereton33]

Dont touch a gate valve with a barge pole, the worse valves ever made.

[@mistermikeanson]

@@dereton33 I have double trouble in my airing cupboard: Gate valves on Polyorc pipe!! So far, being gentle with them, I have been ok 🤞

[@AndyK.1]

Don't the ones you fitted have their own issues? I though there were some that cracked, and then water poured out

[@dereton33]

No stopcocks have there own faults. Gate valves are worse. The full bore tap lever is the best.

[@AndyK.1]

@ It’s the full bore lever ones I was referring too. I’m sure there are some videos on here showing the fault.

[@nettiejackson9246]

What is the replacement valve that you used? A full bore valve?

[@dereton33]

These here. amzn.to/4gy6e5v

[@NodrogMacphee]

I must admit never had a problem with those little valves , but then I have only one on mains pressure the others are on the shower

[@dereton33]

If you have peggler ones they are better.

[@noggintube]

Not good practice to be tightening that valve using the handle for leverage. The main body of the valve has a set of flats on it for a reason.

[@dereton33]

I find it is fine, I am sure I can handle it ha ha.
