Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of this gatevalve?

The primary function is to control the flow of water in a system, allowing you to turn the supply on or off.

What size pipe does this valve fit?

This valve is designed to fit 35mm diameter water pipes.

What material is the valve made of?

The valve is constructed from durable brass.

Is this valve suitable for high-pressure systems?

It is designed for standard domestic water pressures. For high-pressure industrial applications, consult the manufacturer's specifications or a professional.

How often should I operate the valve?

It is recommended to operate the valve fully open or fully closed periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months) to ensure it remains functional and to prevent seizing.

Can this valve be used for gas lines?

No, this valve is specifically designed and rated for water systems only.

Troubleshooting

Valve is leaking from the handle stem.

This may indicate a worn packing nut. Gently tighten the packing nut located around the valve stem. If the leak persists, the valve may require servicing or replacement.

Water flow is reduced even when fully open.

Ensure the valve's gate is fully retracted. Debris may be obstructing the gate's movement; attempt to operate the valve back and forth to clear any obstructions. If the issue continues, the valve might be damaged internally.

Difficulty turning the wheel handle.

The valve may be new or have been in one position for an extended period. Apply gentle, steady pressure. Operate the valve fully open and then fully closed a few times to free it up. Ensure no external obstructions are present.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Verify that the pipe diameter matches the 35mm specification of the valve.
  3. Install the gatevalve onto the water pipe using appropriate plumbing fittings and sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe dope) for a watertight connection.
  4. Gently tighten the valve into place, avoiding overtightening.
  5. Slowly turn the water supply back on and check for any leaks.
