inWatching them install those bargain-bin valves on the steam main is giving me actual anxiety.
Honestly, the real test isn't just pressure holding, it's how those valves handle thermal cycling over time. Tbh, most failures I've seen come from repeated expansion and contraction weakening seals. Ngl, a lot of specs don't account for rapid temperature changes in real world setups. People forget that a dual-safe design can still have a single point of failure if the monitoring system isn't calibrated right.

Your 'back gave out' story hits home... mine did on a foundation pour, now I always crew up.
