This valve is designed for town gas and natural gas applications.
Full bore means the internal diameter of the valve is the same as the internal diameter of the pipe when the valve is fully open, allowing for maximum flow and minimal pressure drop.
No, this specific Intaball valve is designed and certified for gas applications only, indicated by the yellow handle.
The maximum working temperature for this valve is 95°C.
Ensure pipe ends are clean and free from burrs. Insert the pipe fully into the compression fitting and tighten the compression nut securely according to standard practices for gas fittings. Always test for leaks after installation.
The valve is designed and built to meet the requirements of BS EN 331:1998 and AI 2010.
The yellow handle is a visual indicator that the valve is specifically intended for gas use.
Ensure pipework is aligned correctly and not putting undue stress on the valve body. Check that compression nuts are not overtightened. If the problem persists, the valve may require professional inspection.
Turn off the gas supply immediately. Inspect the pipe end for damage or burrs. Ensure the olive is correctly seated and re-tighten the compression nut. If the leak persists, replace the olive and re-make the connection, or seek professional assistance.
Verify the valve is fully open. Check for any blockages in the pipework upstream or downstream of the valve. Ensure the valve is the correct size for the gas line requirements.
Setup: The Intaball valve features compression ends designed to BS EN 1252-4 standards. Ensure the pipe ends are clean, free from burrs, and properly inserted into the compression fittings. Tighten the compression nuts securely according to standard plumbing practices for gas compression fittings. It is essential that all gas installations are carried out by qualified personnel and tested for leaks according to local regulations.
Compatibility: This valve is specifically designed for use with town gas and natural gas. It is suitable for applications up to a maximum working temperature of 95°C. Ensure the pipe material is compatible with the valve's compression fittings.
Care: Minimal maintenance is required for this valve. Keep the external surfaces clean and free from dust or debris. Periodically check the tightness of the compression fittings. In the unlikely event of a leak, the valve should be shut off immediately, and the connection re-tightened or re-made by a qualified engineer.
