Product Information

Full details

The Primaflow 35mm DZR brass stopcock is an essential plumbing component designed for professional installers and homeowners working with 35mm copper tubing, particularly in environments prone to aggressive water chemistry. Its primary benefit is the Dezincification Resistant (DZR) construction, which prevents the structural weakening commonly found in standard brass fittings, though users should ensure they are comfortable working with larger 35mm copper pipe diameters before beginning installation.

FAQs

What does DZR stand for?

DZR stands for Dezincification Resistant, which refers to an alloy specially formulated to resist the selective leaching of zinc, preventing internal structural weakness.

Can I use this with plastic pipe?

This stopcock is designed for 35mm copper tubing. Using it with plastic pipe is not recommended unless specific inserts and compatibility are confirmed.

Is this suitable for underground installation?

Yes, its DZR construction makes it resistant to the types of corrosion commonly found in below-ground and buried environments.

Does it come with the necessary olives?

Yes, the product includes the necessary olives for securing the connection to 35mm copper tubing.

Can this be installed in any orientation?

While it can be installed horizontally or vertically, ensure the handle remains accessible for emergency shut-off.

Troubleshooting

Minor weeping at the compression joint

Ensure the pipe ends are deburred and perfectly round. Tighten the nut by another quarter turn.

Valve is difficult to turn

Check if mineral deposits have accumulated; applying a small amount of plumber's lubricant to the stem may help, or ensure the valve is not under excessive pipe tension.

Water continues to flow when closed

The internal washer may be damaged or compressed; inspect the seat and replace the washer if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to zinc leaching in aggressive water environments
  • High-quality, long-lasting DZR alloy construction
  • Suitable for demanding below-ground installations
  • Secure compression fittings for reliable 35mm connections

Cons

  • Requires specific tools for tightening 35mm compression fittings
  • Bulkier than standard smaller-bore stopcocks
  • Limited to copper tubing applications

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.
