Isolation valves

[duffsparky]

Good morning,

I've noticed some isolation valves are advertised as C x C and some as CP, does anyone know what these acronyms mean and do they have any bearing on quality or performance of the valves.

Thanks.

i don't know what cxc means but cp means chrome plated. i think.

CxC is the valve configeration, basically means compression to compression

when i fish around in my box of compression for an iso and lucky dip my way to one of the sturdy, quality, well-made type that i've bought when at a merchant for £500 each rather 1p each online i get a little thrill and go ooh - what a treat. look at it's strong, defined shape and weightiness. then straight back to the cheap ones.
