This B2C Ball Lever Valve is designed for professionals needing to quickly and securely isolate or control flow in pipe systems. Its primary benefit is the quarter-turn operation for rapid shut-off. A key consideration is that WRAS approval applies only to sizes from 1/4" to 2". The valve features a full bore design for maximum flow and a male-female connection for versatile piping integration.

WRAS Approval indicates that the product meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for use in contact with drinking water in the UK. However, for this specific valve, WRAS Approval is only applicable to sizes ranging from 1/4" to 2".
No, this is a full-flow ball valve designed for quick isolation (fully open or fully closed). It is not intended for throttling or precise flow regulation.
The 1" valve uses standard BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads for its male and female connections.
It is recommended to operate the lever at least once every few months, especially if the valve is typically left in one position, to prevent the internal ball from seizing.
A full bore design means the internal diameter of the valve when fully open is the same as the internal diameter of the pipe, resulting in minimal flow restriction and reduced pressure drop.
You must consult the product specifications for pressure and temperature ratings. This valve is designed for typical plumbing and industrial applications, but specific limits apply.
Check for debris caught in the valve seat. Ensure the lever is fully in the closed position. Verify that the pipe threads are correctly sealed and that the valve is not overtightened.
Operate the valve a few times to loosen it if it has been stationary. Ensure there is no external obstruction preventing movement. If the issue persists, there might be internal sediment; consider flushing the line or removing the valve for inspection.
Confirm the valve is fully open. Check the connected piping for blockages. Ensure the full bore design is not obstructed by improper installation or debris.
Setup: Ensure the pipe threads are clean and free from debris. Screw the male end into a female threaded fitting or the female end into a male threaded fitting, hand-tightening first. Use appropriate tools to achieve a secure, leak-free seal, being careful not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or valve body. Ensure the lever is in the fully open or closed position before attempting final tightening if necessary.
Compatibility: This valve is designed for use with fluids and gases compatible with its materials. The 1" Male-Female BSP pipe thread ensures compatibility with standard BSP threaded fittings. Verify that the pressure and temperature ratings of the valve are suitable for your specific application.
Care: Periodically inspect the valve for any signs of wear or damage. Operate the lever occasionally to prevent the ball mechanism from seizing, especially if the valve is left in one position for extended periods. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could degrade the valve materials. For internal cleaning, the valve will need to be removed from the pipeline.
