Troubleshooting

Valve leaks after installation.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the Speedfit fitting. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting. If necessary, replace the fitting.

Valve handle is difficult to turn.

Check for any obstructions or debris in the valve. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacing.

Water flow is restricted.

Make sure the valve is fully open (handle in the open position). Check for any blockages in the pipe or valve.

Speedfit connection is not secure.

Ensure the pipe is cut squarely and pushed firmly into the fitting. Try pulling back on the pipe to confirm it is locked in place.

Valve is not suitable for my application.

Confirm that you are not using chilled water applications. If the valve is not suitable for your application, you may need to use a different type of valve or fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to use lever handle for quick shut-off.
  • Speedfit connections enable fast and tool-free installation.
  • Color-coded handles for easy identification of hot and cold water lines.
  • Durable brass construction ensures long-term reliability.
  • Compliant with EN331 standards.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, including appliance outlets and under-sink installations.

Cons

  • Not suitable for chilled water applications.
  • May require some initial familiarity with push-fit connections.
  • Handle size might be larger than some standard valves, potentially limiting installation in tight spaces.
  • Requires careful alignment and insertion for a secure Speedfit connection.
  • Brass construction may not be suitable for all water types (e.g., highly acidic water).
  • May require the use of specific tools for removal or adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Ensure the pipe is clean and cut squarely. Push the pipe fully into the Speedfit fitting until it reaches the internal stop. Pull back on the pipe to confirm the connection is secure. No tools are required.
  2. Compatibility: These valves are compatible with standard 15mm push-fit pipe. Ensure the pipe material is suitable for your water system and temperature requirements. Check the product specifications for pressure ratings.
  3. Care: Avoid using excessive force when operating the valve handle. Periodically check for any leaks around the connections. If a leak is detected, re-seat the connection by pushing the pipe further into the fitting, or replace the valve if necessary. Do not use any harsh chemicals for cleaning; a damp cloth is sufficient.
