Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation must strictly adhere to current national gas safety regulations and should only be undertaken by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Before installation, ensure the pipework is clean, free of debris, and cut squarely to 15mm to ensure a proper seal. The valve should be installed in a location that is easily accessible for future maintenance. Once installed, it is mandatory to perform a pressure tightness test on the joints to verify there are no leaks. For long-term care, the valve should be kept clear of obstructions and checked periodically during routine gas safety inspections to ensure it still operates freely without seizing. Do not force the handle if it becomes stiff; have it inspected by a professional.
