Product Information

Full details

The PEPTE 15mm Single Check Valve is an essential component for homeowners and plumbers looking to prevent reverse water flow in standard 15mm plumbing systems. This robust valve excels at ensuring unidirectional water movement, safeguarding your system from contamination and pressure backflow. While it offers high-quality brass construction and WRAS approval, users should note that it requires proper orientation during installation to ensure the check mechanism functions as intended.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this valve suitable for drinking water systems?

Yes, it is WRAS approved, which indicates it meets the standards required for use in potable water systems.

Can I install this vertically?

Yes, this check valve can be installed in both horizontal and vertical orientations as long as the flow arrow points in the direction of the water flow.

What is the primary function of this valve?

It acts as a non-return valve, allowing water to flow forward while preventing it from reversing, which protects your system from backflow and contamination.

What materials are used in the valve?

The PEPTE check valve is constructed from a combination of durable brass, steel, and high-quality plastic components.

Is it compatible with plastic pipes?

It is designed for standard 15mm plumbing systems; however, ensure you use the correct fittings compatible with your specific pipe material (e.g., copper or PEX).

Troubleshooting

Water continues to flow backwards

Verify the arrow on the valve body points in the intended direction of water flow. If installed backwards, the valve will not function.

Reduced water pressure after installation

Check for debris or pipe sealant blocking the valve inlet during the installation process.

Leakage at connection points

Ensure the fittings are tightened to manufacturer specifications and check that the pipe ends were cut square and deburred.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • WRAS approved for safety and compliance
  • Sturdy brass construction for long-term durability
  • Easy to integrate into existing 15mm water systems
  • Lightweight and compact profile

Cons

  • Requires specific orientation to function correctly
  • Limited to 15mm diameter applications
  • Not intended for high-pressure industrial steam applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic plumbing skills. Ensure your system is completely depressurized before cutting into your 15mm copper or plastic pipe.

  1. Check Orientation: Locate the flow arrow on the valve housing; this must point in the direction of the water flow.
  2. Clean Connections: Ensure the pipe ends are free of burrs or debris.
  3. Seal Connections: Use appropriate thread sealant or compression fittings as required by your specific plumbing setup.
  4. Test: Once installed, slowly restore pressure and inspect for leaks.

For ongoing care, periodically monitor the valve for signs of leaking or unusual noise, which may indicate mineral buildup on the spring mechanism.
