This guide is for plumbers, DIY enthusiasts, and building maintenance professionals who need a reliable valve for fluid control in plumbing systems. The key benefit is its full bore design, ensuring maximum flow and minimal pressure drop, suitable for various pipe types. A caveat is the need to verify thread compatibility for your specific application. This heavy-duty brass fitting offers robust service for isolating or controlling the flow of liquids, available in sizes from 1/4" to 2".

A full bore valve has an internal diameter that matches the internal diameter of the pipe it connects to. This allows for maximum flow and minimal pressure drop, preventing sediment buildup.
No, sizes from 1/4" to 2" are WRAS Approved. Please check the product specifications for the specific size you are purchasing.
This valve uses BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, which are standard for plumbing in the UK and many other countries.
Yes, the heavy-duty brass construction makes it suitable for a wide range of temperatures within typical plumbing system parameters. However, always check the specific temperature rating if available.
The valve size typically corresponds to the nominal bore size of the pipe it is connecting to. For example, a 1.25" valve is intended for a 1.25" pipe.
This valve is suitable for use with galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, and other pipe materials and fittings.
Check that pipe threads are clean and properly sealed with PTFE tape or sealant. Ensure the valve is fully tightened onto the pipe threads without overtightening.
Ensure the valve is clean internally. If debris is suspected, briefly flush the line. Do not force the lever; excessive force can damage the valve.
Confirm the valve is fully open. Check for any obstructions in the pipework before or after the valve. Ensure the valve size is appropriate for the pipe diameter.
Setup: Ensure the valve is correctly sized for your pipe. Turn off the water supply before installation. Thread the valve onto the male pipe threads or connect it to female pipe threads, ensuring a snug fit. Use appropriate pipe sealant or PTFE tape on the threads to guarantee a leak-free seal. For WRAS approved sizes, ensure it is installed in accordance with local water regulations.
Compatibility: This valve is designed with standard BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, compatible with male or female BSP fittings. It is suitable for use with galvanized steel, stainless steel, copper, and other common pipe materials. Always confirm thread type and size before purchase.
Care: Minimal maintenance is required. Periodically check connections for leaks. The lever handle should operate smoothly. Avoid overtightening the handle, which could damage the internal mechanism. For long-term storage, ensure the valve is in the closed position and protected from excessive dirt or debris.
