FAQs

What is the purpose of the lever handle?

The lever handle provides quick and easy on/off control of the water flow.

Can this valve be used outdoors?

While the chrome finish provides some protection, it is best used in a protected environment to prolong its life.

What type of connections does this valve have?

This valve has compression connections.

How do I know if the valve is fully open?

The lever should be aligned with the pipe when fully open. When closed, the lever will be perpendicular to the pipe.

What tools do I need to install this valve?

You will need a pipe cutter, wrenches for tightening the compression nuts, and possibly a deburring tool for the pipe ends.

Can I use this valve with a different pipe size?

No, this valve is specifically designed for use with 15mm pipes.

What should I do if the valve handle becomes stiff?

Try operating the handle back and forth several times. If it remains stiff, the valve may need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Valve leaks after installation.

Tighten the compression nuts. If the leak persists, disassemble the connection, inspect the olive, and replace it if necessary. Ensure the pipe is properly inserted into the valve.

Handle is difficult to turn.

Check for mineral buildup around the valve stem. If present, operate the valve handle fully several times to clear the obstruction. If the problem persists, the valve may need to be replaced.

Reduced water flow.

Ensure the valve is fully open. Check for debris or blockages within the valve body. Disassemble the valve and clean if necessary.

Whistling sound when water is running.

This may be caused by high water pressure. Check your water pressure and consider installing a pressure-reducing valve.
