Isolation Valve - 15mm x 1/2" - Straight Compression X Male BSP

Its main purpose is to provide a quick and easy way to isolate the water supply to a specific fixture, like a tap, using a quarter-turn operation.

No, it is specifically designed for 1/2" BSP female flexible tap connectors that have a flat-faced mating surface to match the valve's outlet.

No, this valve uses a 15mm compression fitting for the inlet, which does not require soldering. It connects directly to 15mm copper or plastic pipe.

This valve is suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water systems. Always check the product's specific pressure and temperature ratings if operating outside of normal domestic conditions.

It is recommended to operate the valve fully open and closed at least once a year to ensure the mechanism remains free and functional.

You will typically need pipe cutters, a deburring tool, an adjustable wrench or specific size spanners for the compression nut, and a screwdriver for operating the valve.

Ensure the pipe is cut cleanly and deburred. Check that the olive is correctly seated and tighten the compression nut slightly further. If the issue persists, the pipe or olive may be damaged, and replacement might be necessary.

Ensure the 1/4-turn operation is fully engaged. Check for debris within the valve mechanism. If the valve is old or damaged, it may require replacement.

Verify that the tap connector is a 1/2" BSP female fitting designed for a flat-faced male outlet. Ensure there are no obstructions on the valve's outlet face.
