Yes, provided you use the appropriate 15mm pipe inserts and compression fittings compatible with your specific plastic pipe brand.
It serves as a drain point to remove water from a specific radiator or low point in a heating circuit during maintenance.
Standard models usually feature an integrated valve; check your specific packaging for any included blanking caps.
Yes, it can be installed in horizontal or vertical positions depending on your pipework configuration.
You will typically need two adjustable spanners or a set of pipe wrenches to tighten the compression nut onto the pipe.
Gently tighten the packing nut located behind the valve handle using an adjustable spanner.
Ensure that a radiator bleed valve is opened slightly to allow air to enter the system and displace the water.
The internal rubber washer may have worn out; replace the washer or ensure the valve is fully closed.
Installation requires turning off the heating system and isolating the radiator section to prevent water leakage. Use a suitable PTFE tape or jointing compound on the threads to ensure a permanent, drip-free seal during installation. For care, keep the valve clear of debris and occasionally operate the valve to ensure it does not seize up over time. If you notice any weeping, simply tighten the packing nut behind the operating handle slightly until the leak stops.
