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.
