Plastic Valve

I've been using a shut off valve from Loews, lately I've been receiving email indicating they are leaking. Does anyone have another source for shut off valve? I use them as the drain valve on the system. thank in advance.

Ben which valve from Lows do you use? Have you tried the CPVC valve? It is made for hot water and might work better if you have not tried it. I have been using them but only have about 200 hours on the ones I am using.

I still have one on my truck, I'll take a photo tomorrow and post it. Do you have a photo of the one you use, so I have something to refer to?

Ben, do a "ball valve" search on Lowes site and you will see the 1/2" in the first line. They are tan in color. Cost more than the PVC valves.
