HydroSure Nut Lock Valve - 14mm x 3/4'' BSP Male - Pack of 5

The primary function is to control or shut off water flow within a 14mm irrigation line and to connect it to a 3/4'' BSP male threaded fitting.

This valve is designed for 14mm LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) or standard drip irrigation tubing.

It refers to the thread type and size. BSP stands for British Standard Pipe, and 'male' means the threads are on the outside of the fitting, designed to screw into a female threaded socket.

No, this valve is specifically designed for 14mm tubing. Using it with different sizes will likely result in leaks or an insecure connection.

Each pack contains five HydroSure Nut Lock Valves.

The valve is designed to withstand water pressure of up to 6 bar.

Installation is straightforward, involving pushing the tubing onto the barbed end and tightening the nut, and screwing the male thread into a compatible outlet. No special tools are typically required.

Ensure the nut is fully tightened onto the tubing. Check the tubing end for any damage or debris. If the tubing is old or stiff, it may need to be warmed slightly or replaced.

Check that the male thread is properly seated in the female outlet. Ensure the female outlet's seal (if applicable) is in good condition. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads.

Inspect the valve's internal mechanism for any obstructions like sediment or debris. Close the valve, disconnect the line, and carefully clean the inside of the valve with a soft brush or cloth.

Ensure you are using the correct 14mm tubing. Soaking the end of the tubing in warm water for a minute can make it more flexible and easier to insert onto the valve's barb.
