I’ve got a project coming hopefully this fall. You probably just saved me hours next summer.
Comment on I Just wanted to close the valve...
ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 2 days agoMore than likely there is something in the pipe. I’m going to have to cut it open to investigate and replace the valve. I am 100% turning it the right way as there are stops built in that prevent incorrect rotation. The next iteration will have valves that can unscrew.

Yeah, go for a good quality one like a Spears or a Cepex. Those hardware store white ones get brittle, lock up, and snap like you saw. I spend the 30-40 on one of the good ones and it stays smooth forever.
