You could make it serviceable with threaded fittings that you could unscrew I believe.

What I meant was the union-style ones can be easily removed and cleaned out, plus the clear ones are useful for visual assesment.

It's definitely a good fail safe to have I know cause i already had one power outage, when we move AMD I re do the plumbing every thing will be serviceable. Overkill, yes but better safe then sorry

Oops didn't see they both were I'd do the first one personally

Actually, the second, more expensive one, is apparently the more reliable and easier to service one

It does look very easy to service, but IMO the swing valves are tried and true from what I've seen, but then I am limited to what I've seen being wet behind the ears still

Only drawback to the George Fisher wye one ( besides price ) is the angle you install it on. Some say it works on any angle. Hmm ....

The flapper-style one is called a swing valve. That's what you have now, minus the clear housing, and the unions.
It works best when it's installed vertically, but again, others say it works in other angles. Again, hmmmm ....
