But, the toilets occasionally need to be repaired with a new gasket, or a new fill valve. Now, I know that I can turn off the water to the toilets and have more confidence that I will not encounter a leaking valve that would require the water to be shut down for the entire house. To me, the peace of mind was worth the cost.
When I replaced my toilets I also replaced the push/pull valves with the same valves you have.
Now two years later neither valve
will close.
Would have been better off with the old valves.
