This guide is for plumbing and heating professionals fitting new bathrooms, heating systems, or radiators. The Inta Auto Bypass Valve 22mm Angled provides an essential safety and functional component, allowing water systems to continue circulating even if a specific fitting is blocked or fails. A key benefit is its automatic operation, simplifying installation and maintenance. However, it's crucial to ensure correct pipe sizing and system pressure for optimal performance.

Its primary function is to maintain a minimum level of water circulation in a heating or plumbing system, even when other outlets or components are closed or blocked. This protects system components like pumps.
The Inta Auto Bypass Valve is primarily designed for central heating systems. Compatibility with domestic hot water systems should be confirmed based on specific system requirements and temperatures.
This is a 22mm valve, designed to fit standard 22mm diameter pipework.
No, the Inta Auto Bypass Valve operates automatically based on system pressure differentials and does not require any electrical connection.
Systems with high-efficiency pumps, multiple thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), or zoned heating are good candidates. If your system experiences pump noise or shutdowns when zones close, a bypass valve may be beneficial.
Installation should be carried out by a qualified heating or plumbing engineer to ensure correct fitting, system integrity, and safety.
Warranty information is typically provided by the supplier or manufacturer. Please refer to your purchase documentation or contact your supplier for specific warranty details.
Verify the valve is installed in the correct orientation and that the system pressure is within the valve's operating range. Check for any obstructions within the valve itself, although this is rare.
Ensure pipework is clean and free from damage. Re-do the compression or soldering connection, using appropriate sealant or flux if necessary. Ensure fittings are correctly tightened.
This could indicate a system pressure issue or debris. Flush the system and check pressure settings. If the problem persists, the valve may need replacement by a professional.
Setup: The Inta Auto Bypass Valve should be installed by a qualified professional. Ensure that the valve is correctly oriented according to the manufacturer's instructions and the direction of water flow in the system. It is typically installed on the return pipework, often near the boiler or pump. Ensure all connections are properly sealed to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This valve is designed for 22mm copper or compatible pipework commonly found in domestic and commercial heating and plumbing systems. It is suitable for use with water-based heating systems. Always check system pressure and temperature ratings against the valve's specifications.
Care: As an automatic valve, it requires minimal user care. Regular system maintenance, including flushing and inhibitor checks, is recommended. Periodically check for any external signs of leaks. No internal maintenance is typically required unless a specific issue arises.
