Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard pipe-fitting tools, including pipe cutters for the 35mm copper tubing and appropriately sized shifting spanners or wrenches for the compression nuts. Always ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the stopcock housing until it hits the internal shoulder. The provided olives must be placed on the pipe before tightening the nuts. For maintenance, periodically operate the handle to prevent scale buildup. If the valve is to be buried, ensure it is housed in a protective, accessible pit or box to facilitate future inspection or replacement. Do not overtighten the compression nuts, as this may deform the olive and cause leaks.
