I don't like those gate valves used on hot water pipes. They often leak so you can't completely turn off the pipe you are working on. Is it possible to use the stop cock with the T bar design ?
I agree, gate valves often let by. Stop Cocks have a jumper in them that acts as a non return valve and are made with a washer that’s more suited to cold water.
Replaced various stop cocks with 1/4 turn Pegler ball valves. Only been in a few years, but so far so good, quick to operate and easy to see if on or off.
Chromed or plain brass, you get what you pay for. Go for good quality (Peglers should be good) and they should last. There’s stainless versions if you really want.
