Is this valve suitable for potable water?

The product is simply chrome plated brass, so as long as it is fresh water, I'd say certainly. I use these on my RO/DI water filtration units with no problems. If on the other hand you were using this for saltwater applications youd want to go with a stainless steel product such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Mini-Ball-Valve/dp/B00H9KEVWC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411783840&sr=8-3&keywords=stainless+steel+mini+ball+valve

This valve is normally close (when you energized it the valve open). I use it for water system and it works good.

No do not use this there. In the fine print, you see it is NSF 42 for water treatment standard. This is the minimum. Filters for making truly potable/bacteria-free water are NSF 53 (53 means they filter bacteria like naegleria, cryptosporidium, and giardia).

I don't see why not, it is just a simple manual style rotation valve and gauge. However, leaking air does not cause much problem, you may want a higher quality/tolerance item for your application.

the actual product website says it is NOT drinking water safe, this was the answer by the site moderator in the discussion forum: "no our hose is not drinking water safe (potable) Thanks."

The valve is designed for the little portable bottles like you would use for a camping stove, camping light or propane torch. I'm guessing you'd need a hose and adaptor at least and might have pressure or flow rate considerations.

I purchased the valve but did not do the work, so I do not know the answer to your question.

Sorry I don't. I use the filter for watering veggies from a water line that is old and rusting.

Yes. You should check the recommendations regarding filtration of non-potable water though.

I would imagine you could. But it is really just a "garden hose" for cold/cool water. But if you want something for truly hot water, like what comes from a hot water heater, for distribution where you can't tolerate leakage or failure you probably want something else. Easy enough to find, go to a good hardware store. Finally, this is just a garden hose. If you are concerned about heat I would look elsewhere.

Yes it is for a water supply hose, but not for the high pressure discharge side.

Not sure if its code for pluming inside a home but yes its brass it should be safe for drinking water. But as always check with your local water department to make sure.

As long as the threading on the hose is compatible with the filter that would be possible.

I cant say with total certainty as I don't live in such weather. I can say that the hose bib is solid and the valve is not plastic which should help. It is well made and I have not had troubles with leaks. It's worth the money to try it out in my opinion.

Cant answer specifically but the valve appears to be a gate type with almost full opening. They are fully installed in our boat for each head for fresh water conversions. Seems to be well made and working as planned.

I would assume that it can. Might take a special fitting, although i doubt it. It is intended to be a drinking water faucet and most of those are connected to filters. This faucet uses a 3/8 compression fitting which is very commmon. I am very happy with my faucet as it matches my other Delta gooseneck kitchen faucet.

no not in my set up, there is a valve that closes like its motor driven, not like an electronic gate valve, so my answer would be no, I use it to water my outside plants in the summer with two cycle's per day it works great...Rocky
