“Excellent valve easy to install and works great. Would recommend to anyone. Enjoyed doing business with plumbing supply, will use them when I need any of their supplies.”
“The seat assemblies start to leak after 3+ years. I believe that the copper bellows that keeps the piston watertight just starts to break down. 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.”
“Taco makes products that replace this but when your doing repairs the original product is much easier. These valve were very popular. PlumbingSupply had it in stock and shipping was fast!”
“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.”
