Yup. You pay for quality. Like script monkey said, though, you can reuse them, but my sump valves are not something I change on a regular basis
This is why no ball valves.....

No you are correct. But having the ability to being able to maintain them was high on my requirements list even though I may never need to do so.

Sorry - When said that I don't change my sump valves often I was intending to point out that although the Cepex valves are more expensive, they're only a one time expense.
I completely agree that the ability to maintain the valves is a big plus. Having a valve that's also well made, consistently works and is less likely to need maintenance is an even bigger plus.

I feel you. Was cleaning out my acrylic qt yesterday and the wind blew it off picnic table. Split it right down a corner.

Thats the beauty of the marine fish hobby. Always seems like your replacing something all the time. Thats the beauty of it! It drives me crazy but I guess thats all part of the fun. LOL!

A good ball valve is fine, and actually better for straight on/off uses. Gate valves are far and away better for fine adjustments, but they're a pain if all you're doing is shutting off the flow. For higher quality valves, there's not much difference in price, either.
