This Invena 1/2" Inch BSP Inline Straight Run Screw Valve is designed for plumbing systems requiring efficient and reliable water flow control. It offers a durable cast iron construction for longevity and straightforward operation for opening, closing, and regulating water flow. A key caveat is its maximum operating pressure and temperature limits, which must be respected for safe and effective use.

The maximum working pressure for this Invena Inline Straight Run Screw Valve is 10 bar.
The valve can withstand a maximum working temperature of 120°C.
This valve uses a 1/2" Inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread.
This valve is designed for water flow control and is not recommended for gas lines.
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the cast iron finish.
Operating the valve beyond its maximum pressure limit of 10 bar can lead to leaks, damage, or failure of the valve and potentially the plumbing system.
No, this is a manual screw valve and is not designed for automated control. Flow adjustment requires manual turning of the handle.
Ensure the 1/2" BSP threads are clean and properly sealed with thread sealant or tape. Re-tighten the connection, but do not overtighten.
Check for debris or obstructions within the valve mechanism. If the valve is older, it may require lubrication or replacement if corroded.
Verify that the system pressure is within the valve's operational limits. Check for any blockages in the pipework leading to or from the valve.
Inspect the valve for any damage to the cast iron. If corrosion is significant, consider replacing the valve to prevent potential failure.
Setup: To install the Invena Inline Straight Run Screw Valve, ensure the water supply is turned off. Screw the valve into the existing 1/2" Inch BSP threaded pipework, ensuring a tight seal using appropriate plumbing sealant or tape. Open and close the valve gradually to test its operation and check for leaks.
Compatibility: This valve is compatible with any plumbing system using 1/2" Inch BSP threaded connections. It is designed for use with water and is suitable for systems operating within its specified temperature (120°C) and pressure (10 bar) limits.
Care: For routine care, periodically inspect the valve for any signs of wear or leakage. Ensure the valve is not subjected to pressures or temperatures exceeding its specifications. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. If the valve becomes stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant may be applied to the stem, following manufacturer guidelines.
