Many manufacturers continue to apply complicated and outdated design solutions to old stem problems:
- Valve stems are often retained by external bolts or screws, which can corrode or be vibrated loose, sometimes resulting in stem blowout.
- Adjustable stem packing is frequently employed for stem sealing, despite its tendency to leak, its need for regular maintenance, and its consequent increase in valve operating torque.
- Double O-Rings are sometimes incorporated, risking the entrapment of pressure between the O-Rings and often resulting in higher operating torque

Balon's philosophy envisions design improvement by simplification, not by complication. Balon's simple, functional stem design - a careful combination of interrelated improvements - represents a dramatic advance over conventional stem design.
