New Pingel valve installed, plus I have the overflow tubes. This is a verry nice unit. I used the 4000-series, which in fact does point straight back in relation to the handle, not an angle like their web illustration shows. One thing to consider, which I had not thought of, is that the rear-facing outlet pipe will cover the mounting bolt, so if you ever need to remove the assembly, you'd have to unscrew the valve from the plate first. That would not be an issue with the recommended 6000-series valves. (Hhhmmmm....maybe that's why they recommend those?) I turned this one in the adapter plate threads to angle slightly anyway, so the outlet pipe clears the mounting bolts in case removal is needed in the future. Easy clamp access, good hose routing. Still plenty of room for the selector handle to swing OK. I like it.
Leak now, ya bitch!
