Boiler feed valve review

Hey guys.

I see many different types of boiler feed valves on the installation pictures here, and I was curious to see what peoples opinions are on different types of fill valves.

So, if you like / dislike a peticular brand I'd love to hear why.

I currently use a watts 1156/9D combo simply because thats what the local supplier stocks and its what I replace most of the time in the field on the south shore Mass.

I am interested to hear reviews of the Taco, B&G, Caleffi, etc.

Thanks!

    b &g

    hello Norm i usually always use a b&G brand but in a squeze i'll used who evers as long as there brass body ,the brass body valves seem to last a bit longer plus with the b &G there are least a strainer but like all prv they are going to get stuck closed after years of no use .I will if i get the right price for the job add a manual by pass so there 's no big deal on late night service calls hope that helps peace and good luck clammy

    Caleffi...

    Other than the local representation at the rep level, it's a great product.

    If you adjust it for 12 PSI, it goes to 12 PSI. Imagine that!

    personal prefrence

    I always try to use the b&g fb38 with the watts 9d bfp . i think its mostly a matter of preference but i like the ratio of cost/ease of install and service. i always prefer brass body and i like the fast fill lever for purging.
