This 90-degree angled flat-faced isolation valve from Pepte is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect 15mm pipework to 1/2" flexible tap connectors. Its key benefit is providing quick and complete water isolation with a quarter-turn handle and ball valve mechanism, making it ideal for tight spaces. A potential caveat is ensuring the correct connection size for your specific plumbing setup. This valve offers secure connections and convenient water control for both hot and cold water systems, suitable for new installations and emergency repairs.

Its primary purpose is to provide a convenient and space-saving way to connect 15mm pipework to 1/2" flexible tap connectors, allowing for quick water shut-off.
No, this valve is specifically designed and rated for water systems (hot and cold) only and should not be used for gas.
The 15mm compression inlet is designed to connect directly to standard 15mm copper or plastic plumbing pipes.
This valve has a 1/2" BSP male flat-faced outlet. You need a flexible tap connector that is designed to seal against a flat face, not a tapered thread. Most modern flexi tails are designed for this type of connection.
A quarter-turn handle means that rotating the handle just 90 degrees (a quarter of a full circle) will fully open or fully close the water flow through the valve.
This valve is suitable for standard domestic hot and cold water systems. Always check the product's specific pressure rating if you are working with non-standard or unusually high-pressure systems.
Tighten the compression nut using two wrenches – one to hold the valve body steady and another to turn the nut. Tighten until snug, then an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn is usually sufficient. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the pipe, olive, or valve.
Turn off the water supply. Ensure the pipe is clean and properly inserted. Check that the olive is correctly seated and tighten the compression nut slightly further. If the leak persists, the olive or pipe may be damaged, requiring replacement.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the handle mechanism. Try gently moving the handle back and forth. If stiffness persists, the valve may require replacement.
Check that the flexible tap connector is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the valve is fully open. If the issue persists, the valve may be faulty internally and require replacement.
Verify that you are using a 1/2" BSP male flat-faced outlet compatible flexi tail. Ensure the rubber seal within the flexi tail is present and in good condition. Check for any debris on the flat face of the valve outlet.
