Many valves are available in choice of stainless or brass. If yours isn't, buy a different make. Also, this valve is CHEAP, which is nice but I'm suspicious about its use as a main shutoff for your home. There are flow-sensing valves that will automatically shut off if there is a leak. They cost more but check with your insurer -- they can pay for themselves in 3, 2, even one year through substantial insurance discocunts. | |

| Aug 11, 2025 at 2:02 | comment | added | Dejan Zelic | The best option I'm finding is: valveman.com/products/3-4-bonomi-8e864lf-00 It's pricey compared to the others. But If thats the only option I'd end up going for it. If I'm understanding correctly, there isn't as much of a danger with Brass and Copper and galvanic corrosion | |

| Aug 9, 2025 at 19:17 | comment | added | Dejan Zelic | The brass one on us solid says it’s not for potable water. I’m specifically looking for a motorized ball valve. Do you have any that you would recommend? | |
| Aug 9, 2025 at 19:01 | comment | added | Solar Mike | So many valves are available in brass or bronze so why use stainless steel? | |
