EZ-Fluid 1/2-in Nominal (5/8" OD Comp) x 3/8-in OD Comp 1/4-Turn Chrome Brass Angle Stop Valve Water Shut Off Ball Valve Lead Free 5/8" O.D Compression X 3/8"O.D Compression Outlet EZA58

I liked that these valves are 1/4 turn with metal balls, stems and handles and are very inexpensive. They are 1/2 the price of the brass…… brand at the big box stores which have plastic handles and stems. I have experienced one of the older ones with worn out plastic stems that strip out eventually and causing flooding!! The plastic stems only have 1 1/2 threads which is inadequate. The only complaint on these Ez fluid valves is that there may be a little debris in the ball hole left over from the manufacturing process.The installation tip is that if you remove the handle prior to installation of the valve, put it back on exactly the way it came off. Putting it back on 180 degrees out will all the ball to travel beyond the fully closed position, resulting in water leakage at the closed position.

Most plumbing jobs I run into, require shutting the water off for repairs. Most shut off valves, in older houses, are the screw in type of valve and with time, they all seem to freeze up. Having the new 1/4 turn valves on hand makes replacing old valves a breeze. I replaced two recently and had no issues with leaking. I will definitely buy these again as they cost 1/2 as the ones I pickup at larger hardware stores. Definitely a good purchase!

I own and rent some single family homes. Whenever I do refresh or renovation I make sure to replace the old multi-turn stop valves under the sinks and toilets because they often fail to shut off after being unused for 20 years. I have used these without issue.

These valves are 1/4 turn and have been working quite goodThe price is also very reasonable

It took 6 of these to get 4 good ones...2 of them leaked from the handle stem as soon as they were installed. Of course this type doesn't have a bonnet nut to tighten so I just had to replace them. Extra work I didn't need!I've installed 100's of Brasscraft cutoffs with 0 problems.. Thought I'd try these...they looked good and were packaged well but that's meaningless when they're defective.
