Re: "does this read more like an ad-icle"
Get the ones that are physically bigger and cost more.
Pegler lever operated full bore ball valves are your one and only friend for this sort of application.
When encountering these afterwards, nobody in history has ever said "why did they fit this?", but many many many people have said "thank god somebody fitted this!". At trade prices, ten times the cost of a shitty screwdriver operated reduced bore valve, but worth one hundred times the cost.
