Near perfect soulition valve only missing the off stop. I like the valve you gave me to try. The only thing i can find falt with is the handle. When it gets dragged on the ground it bends and has to occasionally bent back to allow the handle to clear the valve body to be turned completely on. Sooner or later it will break from metal fatigue. The round handle would be a perfect wand valve if it had an "off stop" ive used valves before on soulition lines that rotated 360° and under moderate to high pressure tend to be a pos to turn completely off to disconnect because the slightest misaligned and the pressures back on the quick connect.

Stops create problems.

The indicator line will help you figure it out.

It'll work great for your intended use but ill stick with the old style handle for now for soulition lines. I liked the wanders valves handle if his valve had a ball seat adjustment (and a stainless ball) it would be perfect too but within 6 months. Every valve ive bought from wanders has leaked (5 in all) and can't be adjusted . When the handle finally breaks on the valve you gave me, im gunna take it to my machinest and have him whittle me one or two i like and maybe outa stainless and ill just keep the handles and swap them out as i change valves he may also 3d print test ones before machining . He loves playing with the 3d printers. How knows plastic ones might be better than stainless especially when really hot
