It looks like Viega recently came out with ball valves for their Pureflow Press system. I bought two 1" valves today (Viega 98200) and the passage through the ball appears no larger than 1/2". They call these full port valves; maybe I've misunderstood the meaning of full port. I can't bring myself to use these on 1" pex due to the restriction, perceived or real. Any idea why they are made this way? At $52 each I expected better.

Was looking for a simple valve solution when plumbing in a softener with all press fittings.

Crimp pex? Yeah those are no where interior pipe size. Your can get closer with expansion pex, but copper or screwed is gonna be your best bet for a bigger interior.

Well press, not crimp. But it's probably the same valve just with press ends instead of crimp.
