Two different valve handles
Thread Content
The long ones are made of traditional cast steel, while the short ones are made using modern stamping and welding techniques. Obviously, the new type saves labor and materials, resulting in low costs. After using it personally, I found that the operation feel is also very good. Some might say that the traditional type is more durable; if the valve is too tight, a force applicator can be used, and the handles of the newer models may deform. That’s possible, but it’s a problem with the valve, not with the handle. This new type of controller must have been designed by Chinese people; it has a strong Chinese style. :Lol, those who like to spam can start now.
I have also used this new type of valve handle, and it does deform; I still prefer the original one.
I like the new ones. It’s mainly a bit invincible. Carry a valve handle with you; when you come across different valves that don’t have handles yet, guess what? Hehe, using the valve handle in reverse makes it a really great universal valve handle.
The new model is really great, but it seems to require a lot of force; there’s a large pressure difference on both sides of the valve, and turning the valve on and off can bend the handle~~
A adjustable wrench – that’s all you need. :lol
Both the old and the new have their advantages and disadvantages; I agree with the view expressed above.
The controller of the original poster doesn’t have a lock hole, so it doesn’t really matter whether one is present or not; it’s unlikely to be more convenient for inspectors either, as it wouldn’t prevent accidental operations.
That makes sense. This type of handle is easy to lose; it’s better to use a adjustable wrench. :handshake
