Why should you purchase an American Valve model 3700 for the same price as an obsolete gate valve? Here are just a few reasons:
|
Model 3700 |
Gate Valve |
|---|---|
| Class 6 Positive Shutoff | Class 4 Allowable Leak-Rate |
| Same End-to-End Dimensions as Class 125 or 150 Gate Valve (ANSI B16.10) | Same End-to-End Dimensions as Model 3700 (ANSI B16.10) |
| Patented Teflon-Fused Ball- Prevents Calcium, Lime, or any other buildup common in water applications, which often leads to premature valve failure. |
Unprotected Metal Gate- Notorious as a magnet for buildup and mineral deposits, making full shutoff impossible. Should come with a cheater bar. |
| Lightweight & Compact - Easy to Install Example:
|
Heavy & Awkward - Requires "Big Joe" to Install Example:

|
100% Lead (Pb) Free -No Bronze parts (which contain lead) |
Contains Bronze parts, which contain Lead. (Most states are moving towards lead-free standards in all potable water devices.) |
