3/4" Gate Valve Recommendation.

[Gary Ellis]

Can someone recommend a good 3/4" slip gate valve in a white body with a red handle?

I don't know of any good ones that come in white. They all seem to be grey.

The best valves are "Spears" valves.

If you have to have white you can buy the one below, but I have no idea how good the quality is on this brand and it does not seem to be servicable. I highly suggest you just get the Spears valves as they are know to last and perform.

Do you think the ones from Marine Depot will be fine?

It's the same Spears valve but they dont brand name it. Yes it will work great. I have one on my tank.

I had one of those white and red valves, it got frozen and the only way to turn it was using a pair of channel locks, the valve broke before it would budge, I use Spears now. You can save money by using white fittings for everything else except the unions as well.
