Default ball valve in place of gate valve?

Can't really see water hammer being a problem in a CH circuit, as I would be
unlikely to want to turn off a zone if there was a demand on it at the time,
so when you operate them in this application there should be no flow, and
anyway the pressure on a CH flow is not very high is it?

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.
