This 22mm Full Bore Lever Ball Valve Kit by SPARES2GO is designed for homeowners and professional plumbers seeking a reliable solution for water isolation in domestic plumbing systems. Its primary benefit is the quick-action quarter-turn mechanism, which allows for rapid water flow control during maintenance or emergencies. The kit is highly versatile due to its included color-coded handle sleeves; however, users should ensure they have the proper compression fitting tools and pipe-cutting equipment before starting the installation to avoid leaks.

Yes, the kit includes both red and blue sleeves, allowing you to color-code your hot and cold lines easily.
No, it features a full bore design, meaning the internal opening is the same diameter as the pipe, resulting in no significant pressure loss.
Yes, but you must use the appropriate stiffener insert inside the plastic pipe to ensure the compression fitting maintains a seal.
Compression fittings generally rely on the olive to create the seal and do not require PTFE tape on the threads.
You will typically need two adjustable spanners or wrenches to tighten the nuts securely.
Yes, these ball valves are non-directional and can be installed in horizontal or vertical pipe runs.
Ensure the olive is seated correctly and tighten the compression nut an additional quarter-turn. If it continues, check that the pipe end is not deformed.
Ensure the valve is not under excessive tension from misaligned pipes. If the valve has been stagnant, a small amount of plumber-grade silicone lubricant can help.
