When refitting use ball valves (assuming that the ones there don't

a) ball valves are generally shorter than gate valves so you may have
trouble persuading the pipework to meet up

won't stop leaking, IME

I now use Pegler pump valves. Haven't been using enough of them long
enough to say if they're definitely good for the long run, though.
