The Plumbright Angled Service Tap Valve is designed for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable, efficient way to isolate water supplies in under-counter or restricted plumbing applications. This valve provides the key benefit of rapid, tool-free installation through its advanced push-fit technology, making it ideal for both new builds and maintenance projects; however, users should ensure they are using compatible piping materials to maintain a leak-free seal in high-pressure environments.

Yes, it is designed to withstand the thermal fluctuations typical of domestic heating and hot water systems.
While push-fit fittings are generally removable, it is best practice to use a new valve if the internal teeth show signs of wear or damage.
No, the 15mm side uses a push-fit O-ring seal, and the 1/2 inch side is designed to seal against a tap tail washer.
It is both WRAS and KITEMARK approved, ensuring it meets strict UK water safety and durability requirements.
It is intended for use with copper and plastic pipe; check pipe manufacturer specifications for push-fit compatibility.
Remove the pipe, ensure the end is cut square with no burrs, and verify that the pipe is fully inserted past the internal O-ring seal.
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the end of the pipe or check that the pipe diameter is exactly 15mm and not deformed.
To ensure a secure joint, always use a pipe cutter to ensure the end of the 15mm pipe is perfectly square and free of burrs. If using plastic pipe, it is essential to insert a pipe stiffener (or insert) before pushing the pipe into the valve. To care for the valve, avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners on the plastic body, as these can degrade the material. Simply wipe down with a damp cloth if dust or debris accumulates. Periodically operate the valve handle once every six months to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the internal mechanism remains free-moving.
