Great gate valve selection, ordered to version that would attach directly to heater, so one less fitting required in my limited space. Only downside was had to buy separate split nut after I found my original had shrunk and would not tighten on new valve threads.
was very disappointed that the 2 inch gasket didn't fit like it should have,it did not sit in the grove flush. Had to heat it with a heat gun to stretch gasket to fit. It also was a struggle getting the splitnut for the heater to grab correctly to tighten
Easy glue in and slip as well as heaterside seal. However water started leaking at gate slide shaft immediately after sliding open position. Applied lube to shaft and after a few open close movement stopped leaking.
I cut off the defective part and replaced it with this gate valve and no more leak!!! This one-piece should prevent joint leakage.
My old one was leaking and needed replacing. When I say ""old"", I mean really old. There was no exact replacement but there was a very helpful guy just a phone call away who told me exactly what I could do to make it work. And it did work! Thank you, helpful guy!
