Drinking Fountain Valve


This self closing valve is a great value. I was searching for this type of valve to istall in my outdoor shower for use after returning from the beach. Using this valve in my shower will definitely conserve water. A great product at a very reasonable price. Jones Stephens S05-100 Self-Closing Heavy Duty Shower Valve with Pull Chain, Chrome

Received this valve today and installed it. When I turned the water on had a leak, this was not a drip but a ¼ inch stream. Moved handle a few times to see if there was some thing in the valve. Well go to the store, try to repair with a new/better seal. Would not buy this product again.

was very impressed with valve, does just what I wanted at a very low cost.I used it on a urinal in a little used spare bathroom in basement. Just perfect for this, in spring I'll order another for outside shower to wash off sand from beach. Great product for these applications,alternative was 3 to 6 times the cost.

We looked all over for this sort of valve and here was the best price on a quality unit. We installed for our subdivision pool and it gets a lot of use, has not failed yet. If you yank to hard the lever just resets. No problems.

This is a well made valve but it is 3/4" not 1/2" thread. We made it work with some reducers. Very happy with the performance. We've had it for a few weeks. We are using it as the handle for a drinking fountain. We took off the chain and it works great!

The valve reduced pressure a little too much for the application I was wanting to use it for ("Sunflower" shower head). I ended up just using a regular ball valve instead. The body of the valve was very much heavy duty with a real nice finish, but I received the product without the cotter pin that secures the stem to the handle and the chain broke after just a couple of uses. I think this valve would be a pretty good fit maybe for a low pressure or water-saver shower head, but the volume it produces just doesn't accommodate high volume applications. I would have probably given it a 2.5 or 2.75 rating if I was able.....'
