A gate valve is an expensive piece of pvc that usually has to be ordered. I always put unions before expensive gate valves. Unions are good to add incase of future changes, maintenance, ect. You might want to add a 1 union before the gate valve just in case.

Thanks guys. I will add the union in.

What do you think of this gate valve - it's a great price with free shipping:

I've used both the Sch 40 (white) and Sch 80 (grey) from king brothers with no problems so far, only have 6 of them, work just as well as the more expensive spears valves

I currently have 6 of the Sch 40 on order of various sizes for a manifold project I'm doing

Thanks mate. That's all I need to know. At half the price, I'm ordering it.
