    The ball valve allows more control over process. For instance, I’ll attach the adapter to mc, close the valve and pressurize the line. Then open the valve slowly to pressurize the mc reservoir. If my clamp isn’t tight enough, I can close the valve and adjust adapter for a great seal. The valve is most useful when the jug is filled with fluid to do a flush, without the valve you’d have run the jug out of fluid to not make a mess. Just close the valve and bleed off the fluid in excess of reservoir, till level is below top of reservoir. Then almost no mess. Hope this is helpful.

    Yep, overall it worked well, no leaks or anything. If I remember correctly I did switch out the male fitting for a standard air hose fitting though for my particular setup (not 100% sure on that one though). It's a little clunky putting on and pulling off every time to refill the reservoir (with the grenade pin holding it together, lol!), but other than that I have no complaints.
