It’s difficult to say this in a modest way & as you know, I’m very modest. But some of us are just born to be magnificent.

Cheap iso valves have a rubber inner around the ball and more expensive ones have a ceramic inner around the ball. I always find the full bore iso valves the worst for seizing up, more expensive and fucking useless.  |

I always find the full bore iso valves the worst for seizing up, more expensive and fucking useless. Oh no does that mean the advice for using full bore lever valves instead of gate valves for feeds from cw tank (and other places where you need full on/off) might not be right ? |
