Does anyone make a CPVC shutoff that doesn't suck?

Noob here!

Bought a house with CPVC throughout. Love working with the stuff.. it's super easy.. however.. I've got a bunch of quarter-turn CPVC ball shutoffs that have become difficult to turn/shut off. Broke the handle on one of them, actually.

Swung by my local big-box home improvement center the other day and they carry what looks like the same level of quality, cheap-o, valves. Googling online doesn't yield anything that looks markedly better than what I've got either.

Is there a recommended brand/manufacturer? Or am I better off replacing them with brass shutoffs?

Brass is your best bet. I also hate those PVC ball valves.

That's what I figured... these seem like a good solution to me:

Looks like they can tie directly in to the CPVC.

Best bet is to buy a 3/4 fip brass ball valve and 2 3/4 cpvc by brass mip adapters I attached pictures for reference that is your best option in my opinion you can do the same for 1/2 in as well if needed
