Hi guys, I'm just in the middle of a DIY refurb and wanted somebody to sense check my choice of equipment.
In the bathroom, I have a loo and a sink. Obviously it would be a good idea to have the ability to cut the water off should I ever need to and hence I will be fitting some 15mm isolation valves.
Question is this, however: do I fit one of these, which (as a negative point) is not full bore and is more restrictive although it has a user friendly little plastic lever which turns very easily:
Or...
Do I fit a full bore isolation valve, with a screw turning, which on the one that I have is quite tough to turn already (its brand new) and I'm thinking what will it be like after a couple of years in a hard water area!
Images attached, appreciate any input!
