"Works good and holds up to high water pressure and doesn't break."
"He lost the washer, over tightened, and cracked the garden hose connection end."
"Second replacement valve."
"not only did the plastic fitting break like others said, but the whole thing broke in more than one place."
"The piece like this that came with the water changer, cracked with the first use (the ring that tightens the changer to the faucet."
"Put a plastic tote in your sink, move the powerhead to the tote, and start filling your tank with the faucet going into the tote."
"It's just more low quality plastic parts that will soon break again and need to be replaced."
Best Ball Valves
Ball valves can be referred to as full port or reduced port (also known as regular or standard port) depending on the inner diameter or the valve. A ball valve is full port if the hole of the ball is the same size as the inner diameter of the connecting pipeline (resulting in lower friction) and termed reduced port if the hole of the valve is one pipe size smaller than the pipe, resulting in less flow through the valve than through the shaft of the pipe.

"Replaced a big box store check valve."
"The previous installation was done with the check valve component glued to the PVC pipe."

"Unlike most reviewers of this product, I'm using them for an above ground swimming pool."
"Easy to install, and quiet."
"I installed this valve and it's working well."
Best Float Valves
Float valves use a rod and float ball attached to a valve shutoff lever to control flow in or out of a tank. The float ball rises or falls with the level of liquid in the tank, changing the angle of the valve shutoff lever. Float valves are used to automatically regulate the level of liquid within tanks in a variety of applications, such as fountains, livestock water tanks, cooling towers, and chemical manufacturing plants.

"The line I had connected dryed and broke off inside the valve and I could not fix it."
"I was replacing a toilet type fill valve for a pond auto-fill ."
"I bought this to replace my leaking automatic goat watering float valve."

"Got this to keep a 5 gallon bucket full of water for my chickens."
"I wanted to also make it self filling so that I didn't have to worry about adding water and having an overflow hole, so I put in this valve, added a hose bib adapter and connected it to a faucet timer (just in case I had some blow out, I didn't want to just leave it turned on all the time)."
"The float plugs a toothpick sized hole with some sort of soft rubber."

Best Globe Valves
Globe valves control flow rates in a piping system by the lift of a vertical stem and disk, which must be turned to open and close the valve. The stem on globe valves can be either rising (moves up as the valve opens) to indicate if the flow is on or off, or non-rising (stem height remains constant when the valve is either open or closed) for use in small spaces. Brass stem and disc for higher corrosion resistance than steel.

"Making a custom "rustic" shower centerset for the "outhouse" bathroom in my basement pub."
"most folks never heard of a globe valve."
"Right price, on-time delivery, exactly as described, and a very good stem packing."
Best Butterfly Valves
The lever handle rotates the disc in the valve seat to fully open, regulate, or stop flow through the valve. Butterfly valves are used to regulate flow between pipes, tubes, and hoses by rotating a lens-shaped disc in the center of the valve and are suited for high-capacity, low-pressure applications. When the valve is fully opened, the disc face is parallel to the inlet and outlet of the valve, and when the valve is closed, the disc face is perpendicular to the opening of the valve. Wafer-style design for a seal against two-way pressure to prevent backflow in single-direction systems.
