Default Can you identify this seacock?

Can anyone identify the make of this seacock:

On the side the letters "PE" are shown.

Are they any good?
How should they be serviced?

Regards

The "PE" most likely refers to the fact that the fitting is made of
polyethylene, a common plastic for residential use pipe and fittings.

It also looks like a simple gate valve vs. seaccock.

A bronze seacock is far more reliable than the plastic gate valve for
obvious reasons. ;-)
