Change the valve after 2 years?Yeah but if your spunding valve fails then you don’t want an exploding FV

I don't know if you have any idea how equipment is tested and given a rating, but it is taken to double the pressure or tension it may be used at. Hence the reason that to do a test on the said vessel it isn't tested at the pressure it will be used at but double that pressure.When pressure brewing 40 psi is not needed.
Completely agree, why look any further, I have six and wouldn't use anything else, easy to convert to a usable fermenter by fitting the tap, while still being able to transfer oxygen free, (well as free as can be) for as many years as one would want.I have a Fermentasaurus Snub Nose, it's been an excellent addition to my brewing setup. It's rarely empty these days! Very reliable, no problems with leaks or other faults.
The 'shelf life' isn't necessarily the end of it's useful life as a pressure fermenter, only the recommendation to have it retested at rated pressure AIUI. I think it's recommended not to use it beyond two years without an appropriate test, but you may do so if tested.Doubt it will just die after 2 years. Didn't realise they had a shelve life, was considering buying one but doubt I will now.
This for sure. Cheaper tooPlastic. They seal better than ss
I have used both on my two all rounders and now only use the plastic caps as they seem to seal more effectively and continually than the SS ones.those who have the allrounder did you go for the plastic or SS fittings
