The simple answer is they are $500 per valve . I can get a shark bite for $20.00 .

Matt Bradshaw :
Copper pipe can only touch copper or brass per code. That valve is a dissimilar metal and will cause electrolysis. The electrolysis will wear down the copper pipe with in a few years. Then you will be repiping the property. That’s why.

Just looked it up on Amazon it’s over $400 what a pointless gadget at that price! Might as well hire a plumber!

because I could have cut the pipe added a shut-off valve in less than 2 minutes

Because eventually they do leak and then you’ve got a pipe with a big hole in it

Relying on a O ring for decades is not the best. Just do it right.

just another day 🇨🇦 :
in the commercial/industrial,world they call that a hot tap. it is used when the supply cannot be interrupted because of the process flowing in the pipe. not too many small applications or residential applications are in a state where you cant shut the water off for a few minutes. although they work fine, hot taps are the most prone to leak over time, so only used where they need to be used

Lord Blackfair :
I would just cut the pipe and either put a compression fitting or propress shut off valve..

Cam-El-Toe :
because we do it the correct way by soldering a ball valve in. that bs has too many failure points and probably costs too much for something you can't trust

Josh Pennington :
Because it’s not hard to work with your local water department to turn the main off and back on again over the course of a few hours
