King gate valves

[jcoopcycle]

Has anyone used the king gate valves they are quite a bit cheaper than some of the others. Just wondering about the quality and if you feel they are safe?

I don't have any experience with King valves, but I do with the ones in the link below.. It looks like there on sale right now too. Sorry couldn't answer your question specifically.

I have quite a few of them in my systems. They seem to work well, but my oldest have only been in use for about one year.

I was looking at this one and I'm not seeing anything wrong with it.

Yup, this is the one I have quite a few of. Let's see, probably about 12 on manifolds, returns and intakes.

I used that exact one many times, works just fine. I did crack one by using wood clamp to hold pipe in it while gluing, which I thought was odd, schedule 80 should be stronger, but other then that works great.
