Why is the The DripStop® Valve better than a rubber washer?
The DripStop® Valve is guaranteed for life – even in commercial or public facilities with near-continual use. During independent laboratory tests, the DripStop® Valve outlasted every faucet in which it was installed! The tests showed that the DripStop® Valve continued to create a watertight seal long after the faucets it was installed in wore out! An ordinary rubber washer can’t last that long – even in a low-use application, such as your kitchen or bathroom. The DripStop® Valve is so durable that it exceeds ASME A112.18.1 and CSA-B125 standards. It also complies with NSF 61 standards.No old-fashioned rubber washer can make those claims!
