FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this valve?
This is a combination service valve used to connect and control the water supply to fixtures like faucets, washing machines, or dishwashers directly from the wall's water pipe.
What does 'self-sealing connection thread' mean?
It means the thread is designed to create a watertight seal upon tightening, often reducing or eliminating the need for additional sealing tape like PTFE tape.
Can I use this for hot and cold water lines?
This valve is typically designed for one water line (either hot or cold, depending on where it's installed). For a faucet, you would typically need two such valves, one for each line.
What is the 'grease chamber head part' for?
The grease chamber is designed to hold lubricant, which helps to keep the internal valve mechanism smooth and prevent wear, ensuring easier operation and a longer lifespan.
Does this come with the supply hoses?
No, this product is the service valve itself. The flexible supply hoses to connect your faucet or appliance are usually sold separately.
What is the warranty period for this GROHE product?
GROHE typically offers a constructor warranty of 5 years on their products, but specific terms and conditions may apply. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with the product.
Troubleshooting
No water flow from the faucet
Ensure the valve handle is fully open. Check that the main water supply is on and that there are no kinks or blockages in the supply hoses.
Leaking connection at the wall
Turn off the water supply. Ensure the self-sealing thread is properly seated. If the leak persists, re-apply sealing tape or consult a professional plumber.
Leaking connection at the hose outlet
Turn off the water supply. Check that the compression nut is tightened securely but not overtightened. Inspect the hose fitting for damage and replace if necessary.
Difficulty turning the handle
The valve may require lubrication in the grease chamber. Turn off the water supply and consult the product manual for lubrication instructions or contact GROHE support.
