FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You'll need a pipe cutter, suitable spanners, and potentially PTFE tape.

Can I use this valve with plastic pipes?

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

What is the operating temperature range?

The valve is suitable for both hot and cold water systems.

How do I operate the valve?

The valve is operated using a screwdriver in the slot provided.

Can this valve be used outdoors?

While the chrome-plated finish offers some protection, prolonged exposure to the elements is not recommended. It's best suited for indoor plumbing applications.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure the compression fittings are properly tightened during installation. Check for leaks after installation and tighten further if needed. Use PTFE tape on the threads for extra sealing (optional, but recommended).

What materials is the valve made of?

The valve is made of brass with a chrome-plated finish.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking.

Tighten the compression fittings. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, check the olive for damage, and reassemble with new PTFE tape or a fresh olive.

Valve is difficult to turn.

Ensure the screwdriver slot is clear of debris. Check for any obstructions preventing the valve from fully opening or closing. If the issue continues, the valve may need replacing.

Water flow is restricted.

Ensure the valve is fully open. Check for any debris in the valve body that may be restricting flow. Flush the valve if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the water supply is turned off. Gather the necessary tools: a pipe cutter, suitable spanners, and PTFE tape (optional, but recommended). Inspect the 15mm copper pipes to ensure they are clean and straight.
  2. Installation: Cut the copper pipe to the required length. Insert the pipe into the compression fitting on the valve. Tighten the compression fitting using the appropriate spanner. Ensure the fitting is secure but do not overtighten.
  3. Compatibility: The valve is compatible with 15mm copper pipes and suitable for hot and cold water systems. Ensure that the water pressure is within the valve's specified limits (check the product specifications if available). Avoid using the valve with abrasive or corrosive fluids.
  4. Care: Regularly inspect the valve for leaks. To clean the valve, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  5. Operation: Turn the valve on/off with a screwdriver.
  6. Post-Installation: Once the valve is installed, slowly turn the water supply back on. Check for leaks around the compression fittings. Tighten further if needed, but do not overtighten.
