Antrader 4Pcs Forged Brass Gas Ball Valve, Female Thread x Female Thread, 1/4-Inch, Rated to 600 WOG 150 WSP

Well, where do I start? First the there are barely any threads, and they are not pipe threads, so you need to use a LOT of teflon tape or plumbers dope.Second, they leak from the lever.....I installed only one so far, and I'm using it as a shutoff valve for my compressor. When I finally got it to stop leaking from the threads, I found that it started leaking from the lever. And only when open. All have loose nuts, so I tightened the nut. And still it leaks. It doesn't leak as much if I get the lever in just the right place.Maybe I'll just have to shut it off every time I use it. But then, it'll still leak when I'm using it. So....I was planning on using the other three for a DIY drier, but not sure now.

Small can be good or bad. These are the size you may expect on a 1/4" version. If you have tight spot you may celebrate. If you have lots of room they look small and vulnerable. The minimal thread depth is my least favorite part .

I am building a propane manifold and needed some valves. I put the thread seal on and began tightening them up with a 15mm wrench. (its a 1/4 inch valve with a 15mm boss for tightening). Valve split in half before tight. Real cheap junk. I would not recommend.

Female threads are too short! Will not seal and leak. Junk!

Threads very short not a good seal

thank you

Really a great value for your money

Weak and cheap. Not very durable. I broke one just tightening it. The levers are week and bend easily.
