Default ball valve in place of gate valve?

On Thu, 6 May 2004 08:13:17 +0100, in uk.d-i-y "nightjar"
strung together this:

That is not an acceptable solution, even if it is possible to close a
quarter-turn valve slowly enough. It is a basic principle that one day
either you will forget or someone else will operate the valve, which could
blow a pipe fitting off somewhere.

Fairynuff, just a thought. I manage it but not everyone has to.
