Also, I have seen Ferrea valves stems bent all the way around into a spring shape without breaking the head off. I have seen other brands of stainless steel valves break the heads off after being bent 45° or less. In all my years of using hundreds, if not thousands of Ferrea valves, I have only seen one break the head off. It was from thermal shock. I have seen a lot of other SS valves break heads off.
