I recently had a two year old Watts ball valve fail in my house. The darn thing just about split in two.

I went to a giant hardware store that used to be good, and asked the guy if they sold Apollo ball valves still.
"Yup, come with me," he said. I thought perhaps they'd be locked up or something since presumably the USA made ones are pretty pricey. The clerk took me to the Chinese junk ones and handed me one. "No, I said Apollo!" "Just a name," he replied.

I thought I hadn't used any other of the junk Watts valves in my house but I just noticed that I had replaced the main shutoff valve with one!

So what is a good brand of ball valve these days? I haven't been to the supply house yet, hopefully they still
have US Apollo's.

Thanks,

DD
