FAQs

Can I use this for gas lines?

No, this product is designed exclusively for water systems and is not rated or certified for gas safety.

What is DZR brass?

Dezincification Resistant (DZR) brass is a specialized alloy that resists corrosion from water, significantly extending the lifespan of the fitting.

Is this valve suitable for central heating systems?

While it can be used for water, you must ensure the pressure and temperature ratings of your heating system do not exceed the valve's specifications.

Does this valve have an arrow for flow direction?

Most models feature a flow indicator arrow on the body; ensure this points in the direction of the water flow towards the destination fixture.

What should I do if the connection leaks?

Check if the compression nuts are tightened correctly or if the pipe end was damaged during cutting. Re-seat the fitting and tighten firmly.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to drip after closing the valve

Ensure the handle has been turned fully into the closed position. If it persists, the internal washer may be damaged and require professional replacement.

Valve handle is difficult to turn

Apply a small amount of plumber-approved silicone lubricant to the valve stem and gently work it back and forth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to dezincification for long-term durability
  • Provides a positive, leak-free shut-off mechanism
  • Standardized 22mm size ensures wide compatibility
  • Essential for emergency maintenance and pipe repairs

Cons

  • Requires professional plumbing skills for proper installation
  • Not suitable for use with gas or high-pressure heating lines
  • Manual operation requires clear access to the valve location

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the water supply is completely turned off at the main source. Cut a section of your 22mm pipe, ensuring the ends are clean and free of burrs. Use appropriate compression fittings if the stop cock is of a compression-nut design, or ensure clean soldering practices for copper connections. Once installed, slowly reopen the main water supply to check for any signs of weeping or leaks at the joints.

Compatibility Note: This valve is designed for cold and hot water domestic plumbing. Do not use for high-pressure industrial applications or gas systems.

Care: To prevent the valve from seizing due to scale, it is recommended to turn the handle fully open and closed once or twice a year to keep the internal mechanism moving freely.
