This valve is part of the Sealey SBA SharkBite system. It uses a push-fit mechanism. Simply push the pre-cut pipe end into the fitting until it is fully engaged.
What is the 'tamperproof lockable handle' for?
The lockable handle allows you to secure the valve in either its open or closed position, preventing accidental operation or unauthorized changes to the system flow.
What is the material of the valve?
The valve is constructed from durable brass.
What is the size of the valve connection?
This is a 15mm diameter valve.
Troubleshooting
Valve does not open or close smoothly
Ensure the handle is fully turning and check for any debris obstruction. If used with water, a small amount of scale might require more force. Ensure pipe is properly seated.
Leak detected at connection point
Disconnect the pipe and valve, clean the pipe end and the fitting. Reinsert the pipe firmly until it clicks into place, ensuring it is fully seated.
Handle is difficult to lock
Ensure the valve is in either the fully open or fully closed position before attempting to lock the handle. Check that the locking mechanism is free from debris.
