The Reliance Lever Ball Valve (15mm, PN25) is an essential plumbing component designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts who require dependable, manual flow control in residential or commercial water systems. Its primary benefit is the quick-action lever operation that allows for instantaneous shut-offs, ensuring safety and convenience during maintenance; however, users should note that as a lever-operated device, it requires sufficient clearance space around the installation point to rotate the handle fully.

PN25 refers to the Nominal Pressure rating, meaning the valve is rated to safely withstand a working pressure of 25 bar.
This valve is designed for fluid control in plumbing systems. Always check local regulations before using plumbing valves for gas applications.
Yes, it is durable, but ensure it is protected from freezing temperatures to prevent potential bursting.
The handle is a heavy-duty lever designed for manual operation, finished in red for high visibility.
Yes, the materials used are suitable for standard hot and cold water plumbing installations.
Tighten the packing nut located behind the lever handle slightly to compress the internal seal.
Ensure the system is depressurized and clear any external debris; if scale build-up is severe, replace the valve.
Check that the joint is properly sealed with plumbing tape or sealant and ensure the pipe is fully inserted.
To install, ensure the 15mm pipe end is cut square and deburred to prevent damage to internal seals. Use appropriate plumbing tape or compound on threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal. When tightening, use a wrench on the valve body flats to avoid applying torque through the lever itself. For long-term care, operate the lever at least once every six months to prevent lime scale buildup. If the valve becomes stiff, ensure the system is depressurized before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
