Hi all,
We have Champion brass control valves. The one pictured is leaking terribly. I tried to fix it using a rebuild kit and ended up breaking it. Specifically, I broke off the brass piece under the cap that holds the white plastic plunger. So, now I need a new valve. Would you recommend buying another Champion valve since the rest of the valves are Champion? Or should I go with a better brand. If so, what are the best valves out there? I want the best quality. My other issue with getting another Champion is that all the retailers in my area on seem to have the 3/4" size and I need 1" size. I called Champion and they suggested that I get an adapter to convert the 1" PVC to 3/4" and then attach a new 3/4" valve. Is it ok to do that? All my other valves are 1" Champions, so they must have manufactured them at some point.
