The Pegler PS5 Full Bore Ball Valve is an ideal choice for professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts seeking a reliable flow control solution for heating and plumbing systems. Its primary benefit is the full-bore design that ensures unrestricted water flow, though users should note that it requires compatible XPress crimping tools for a proper, leak-free installation.

No, the Pegler PS5 is designed for water and heating systems and should not be used for gas unless explicitly specified by local regulations.
This valve is specifically designed for copper, carbon steel, and stainless steel tubing. Check manufacturer compatibility guides before using with specific plastic pipe brands.
Ball valves are designed to be either fully open or fully closed. Throttling the valve in a partially open position can cause premature wear on the internal seal.
Please refer to the technical datasheet provided by Pegler for the specific pressure and temperature ratings, as they vary based on the medium used.
No, XPress fittings are designed for one-time installation. Once the joint is crimped, it cannot be reused if disconnected.
Check if the pipe was fully inserted into the valve and verify that the crimp tool was applied with the correct jaw size.
Check for debris around the spindle. If the valve has been stagnant for a long time, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the spindle area.
Installation requires a compatible XPress press-fit tool. Ensure the tube ends are cut square and are free of burrs, as debris can damage the internal O-rings during insertion. When installing, push the pipe fully into the fitting until it hits the pipe stop. Use the correct jaw profile for the crimp connection to ensure a permanent seal. The valve is maintenance-free under normal operating conditions; however, it is recommended to cycle the handle once or twice a year to prevent mineral build-up and ensure the valve remains easy to operate over its lifespan.
