Product Information

Full details

The Plumbright 28mm Stop Tap is an essential component for homeowners and professional plumbers seeking reliable water flow control within domestic plumbing systems. Constructed from high-quality DZR brass, this valve offers excellent longevity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for isolating sections of your water supply during maintenance or repairs. While it provides robust performance, please note that this is a 28mm fitting, so it is strictly intended for use with 28mm diameter piping; ensure your current plumbing dimensions are compatible before starting installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this stop tap lead-free?

The product is made from DZR brass, which is designed to be highly resistant to corrosion and is standard for modern domestic water systems.

Can I use this for gas lines?

No. This stop tap is designed strictly for domestic water systems and should never be used for gas piping.

What is the pressure rating?

It is intended for standard residential water system pressures. Consult local building codes for specific pressure requirements in your area.

Does it come with olives?

Please verify your specific product packaging, but typically compression fittings include the necessary nuts and olives.

Can I install this vertically?

Yes, this valve can be installed in both horizontal and vertical pipe runs, provided there is enough space to operate the handle.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to flow when the valve is closed

Ensure the valve handle has been turned fully to the 'off' position. If it still leaks, there may be debris in the valve seat requiring professional inspection.

Leakage at the connection point

Verify that the pipe is fully inserted and the nut is tightened to the correct torque. Ensure the olive (if applicable) is correctly positioned and not damaged.

The valve handle is difficult to turn

Mineral buildup may be restricting movement. Gently apply a plumbing-safe lubricant or exercise the handle slowly back and forth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to corrosion and dezincification
  • Solid brass construction for durability
  • Essential for emergency shut-off applications
  • Reliable sealing performance

Cons

  • Not suitable for pipe sizes other than 28mm
  • Requires professional installation or competent DIY plumbing skills
  • Not intended for high-pressure commercial industrial systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning installation, ensure the main water supply is turned off to prevent flooding. This 28mm valve is compatible with standard 28mm copper or appropriate plastic piping systems. When installing, ensure all fittings are correctly aligned to prevent stress on the pipe joints. We recommend using high-quality pipe joint compound or PTFE tape on the threads to ensure a watertight seal. For long-term care, test the stop tap periodically—open and close it once every few months—to prevent mineral deposits from causing the valve to seize, which is a common issue in hard water areas.
