The Plumbright 22mm Hand Tighten Valve Union (SVHU6744M) is designed for professional plumbers and DIY homeowners who need a reliable, tool-free method to isolate 22mm copper or plastic pipe networks. Its primary benefit is the rapid, solder-free push-fit installation that significantly reduces labor time, though it is best suited for accessible areas rather than concealed or inaccessible pipe voids.

No, this valve is designed specifically for water supply systems and is not rated for gas applications.
It is rated for standard domestic water pressures; please consult local building regulations for specific pressure compatibility in your region.
While the fitting can be removed, it is recommended to inspect the internal seals for wear before re-installing to ensure a leak-proof connection.
No, this is a mechanical compression-style push-fit; the integrated O-ring provides the necessary seal without additional sealants.
Yes, as it is WRAS approved, it is certified as safe for use in potable water supply lines.
Remove the fitting, check the pipe end for scratches or burrs, and ensure the internal O-ring is seated correctly before re-inserting.
Ensure the pipe is a standard 22mm diameter and is perfectly round. Remove any debris from the fitting entrance.
To ensure a secure connection, first ensure the 22mm pipe is cut cleanly with a pipe cutter; remove any burrs or sharp edges with a deburring tool to prevent damage to internal O-rings. Push the pipe firmly into the valve until it reaches the stop depth. Hand-tighten the union nut until firm. Avoid using heavy-duty pipe wrenches that may overtighten and crack the housing. For ongoing maintenance, periodically inspect the fitting for signs of weeping and ensure the surrounding area remains dry.
