Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright Angled Service Valve is an essential component for domestic and light commercial plumbers needing a reliable water isolation point in cramped or restricted locations. Its primary benefit is the push-fit connection mechanism, which eliminates the requirement for hot work or soldering, significantly reducing installation time; however, installers must ensure pipe ends are perfectly deburred to maintain a secure, leak-free seal within the push-fit mechanism.

FAQs

Does this valve require soldering?

No, this valve features a push-fit design that requires no hot works or soldering.

Is this valve suitable for central heating systems?

Yes, it is designed for both domestic plumbing and light commercial systems, provided it stays within its pressure and temperature rating.

Can I use this on plastic piping?

It is generally designed for standard copper pipe. Check if your specific plastic pipe manufacturer permits the use of standard push-fit brass fittings.

What does WRAS approved mean?

It means the product has been tested and certified by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme to ensure it does not cause waste, misuse, or contamination of the water supply.

Can this valve be reused?

Push-fit valves are generally intended for permanent installation. Removing them can damage the internal O-rings, so they are not recommended for reuse.

Troubleshooting

The connection is leaking after installation.

Ensure the pipe end is free of scratches and burrs. If the pipe is damaged, cut off the section and try again with a clean, smooth length.

Valve handle is difficult to turn.

Apply a small amount of WRAS-approved silicone lubricant if the valve has remained unused for a long period, or clear any debris from the valve housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Cut the 15mm pipe squarely and remove all burrs using a deburring tool to prevent damage to the internal O-ring seal.
  2. Marking: Measure the insertion depth (typically marked on the valve body) to ensure the pipe is fully seated.
  3. Insertion: Push the valve firmly onto the pipe until you feel it click or hit the internal stop.
  4. Testing: Always perform a pressure test by slowly turning the water supply back on to check for leaks.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly operate the isolation lever (open and close) every six months to prevent lime scale buildup, ensuring the valve remains functional should an emergency shutdown be required.
