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

Nothing wrong with the swing valve ..
The wye valve works on weight instead of a spring. It'll never get soft due to wear.
Something to think about, hmm ?

Oh ya, I'm still more wet behind the ears than you are

Hey, did you check out my build thread ?

[gregzz4]

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 ....
