What size connection does this valve use?

What is the material of the valve?
The valve is constructed from high-quality brass and features an advanced electroplated finish.
How do I operate the valve?
Operation is simple with a single lever that requires just a quarter turn to switch between fully on and fully off.
Does this valve come with a cover plate?
Yes, the package includes one round conceal plate for a clean installation.
Can this valve be used for general plumbing shut-off?
This valve is specifically designed for use with douche or shattaf kits. While it functions as a shut-off valve, its design and purpose are tailored for these specific applications.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or Xcel Home's official documentation for specific warranty information, as this can vary.
How should I clean the valve?
Clean the valve using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the electroplated finish.
Troubleshooting
Valve is leaking water from the connection point.
Ensure the 1/2" BSP connection is securely tightened. Check that any sealing tape (like PTFE tape) is properly applied to the male threads before connecting. If the leak persists, the valve or connection may be faulty.
Lever is stiff or difficult to turn.
Occasionally, debris can affect the valve's operation. Try turning the lever back and forth a few times. If it remains stiff, it may require lubrication or replacement.
No water flow when the lever is in the 'on' position.
Verify that the main water supply is on. Check that the valve is fully in the 'on' position (quarter turn). Ensure there are no blockages in the shattaf hose or the valve itself.
The finish appears dull or discolored.
This may be due to harsh cleaning products. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning and ensure no chemical residue remains. For minor discoloration, a polish designed for plated brass might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
