If this is the case I'm very disappointed. Coming from a long line of general contractors that would NEVER use these type valves. Failure is a matter of when, not if.
If I build there I guess I'm going to have to spend $1-2k to replace all the valves in the house. Do you have a choice of plumbing subs?

No.
I haven't ever heard of a pipe blowing out of a wall and having the pressure of a fire hose. I haven't heard of a refrigerator blowing up either until one did here in The Villages. It is hard sometimes to know what to believe.
Retiring. You are welcome to visit us and see our home. We think this one and the Camellia we had in Hadley were built just fine. We are not new to home building. All of our homes were new except two. We have lived in ten homes and two were not new. We were part of helping our daughter and son in law build two homes as a nibby parent/consultant.
