i have this valve and its really stiff i was wondering if there's a way to loosen it up a little its a KBI Ball Valve baught at Ace hardware and it looks like their might be a way of adjusting it i just dont know how
If what you have is a KBI plastic valve used commonly in PVC water pipe systems, you are stuck with a stiff valve. The best and only medicine for them is to open and close them frequently. Hard water deposits will cause them to work harder as well. If, and when you replace, useing a little petroleum jelly on the ball portion before installation might help, but I’m sure the manufacturer would frown on this. They can operate so hard that the handle will break off, so if you can turn it on and off, just keep working it.
tap it lightly with a hammer while turning it
