Whats the difference between ....

 ... could someone tell me the difference between a shut off valve and an appliance valve please?

Or perhaps better put, when might I use one but not the other?

 

They appear to me to do the same thing, and Tinternet is less than helpful: a search of images of each shows both types seem to be randomly named (using the HEP20 catalogue - price list as a guide).

 

Maybe they both do the same job: in which case  why prefer and not the other?

I would love to have one with a much larger handle as operating these standard valves (which I probably need to do once in a few years) is a pain. Pretty sure my wife wouldn't be able to turn it. 


this is where a 3D printer could be useful
