FAQs

Is this valve suitable for gas applications?

No, the Pegler PS5 is designed for water and heating systems and should not be used for gas unless explicitly specified by local regulations.

Can I use this with plastic piping?

This valve is specifically designed for copper, carbon steel, and stainless steel tubing. Check manufacturer compatibility guides before using with specific plastic pipe brands.

Does the valve need to be fully open or closed?

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.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

Please refer to the technical datasheet provided by Pegler for the specific pressure and temperature ratings, as they vary based on the medium used.

Can I reuse the XPress fittings?

No, XPress fittings are designed for one-time installation. Once the joint is crimped, it cannot be reused if disconnected.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the pipe joint

Check if the pipe was fully inserted into the valve and verify that the crimp tool was applied with the correct jaw size.

Handle is stiff or difficult to turn

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures unrestricted flow due to full bore architecture
  • Rapid installation with XPress crimp system
  • High-quality brass material ensures durability
  • Suitable for various pipe materials including stainless steel

Cons

  • Requires specific XPress crimping tool for installation
  • Not intended for gas line applications without specific certification
  • Requires proper tube preparation to avoid damaged seals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
