“The seat assemblies start to leak after 3+ years. I believe that the copper bellows that keeps the piston watertight just starts to breakdown. Taco fails to redesign it. The assy. costs as much as the valve, so if you get the whole valve and take out the seat assy., you must recycle all the brass on the outside. It's a poor and costly design and not worth the trouble for the long haul.”

“This control valve works great for me in diverting water to fill a cistern tank. It does, however, start leaking from the 'plunger' gaskets after about 2-3 years in my particular application. I don't know why. Could be the water, which is only 'borderline' hard.”
“It worked, I didn't like that I had to ask a representative at Lowe's plumbing section to get it from a cage. I guess customers pilfer them frequently. Small + expensive = pilferable.”
