everything works until it doesn't. .
As far as those who say wait until they leak, are counting on them leaking slowly and is found as soon as the leak starts. However, that would be good luck. Bad luck would be a flood while no one is home. .
I replaced mine with shark bites myself, where they were easy. However, there was one under a toilet which was difficult, and scarred the PVC, so i had a plumber do it, with a pvc glue on valve for safety, because I like to be proactive on maintenance, which saves time and money in the long run.
Goodluck to those of you who are lazy with known crappy valves, your luck might work, but it might not.
