Brand also plays a part.
Spears (gate valves) and Hayward (bulkheads) just cost more than B&K or others for Schedule 80.
Also, the seal type can up the cost as well. Make sure you are looking at Buna-N, not EPDM or FKM o-rings.
The Spears part numbers for slip x slip, Buna-N, non-rising gate valves are below.
