Ball valve for soldering ARCO T-2000 15 mm PN30 TAJO

The ARCO T-2000 15 mm PN30 TAJO is a soldering ball valve engineered for soldered installation in piping systems. With a 15 mm nominal diameter and a PN30 pressure rating, this valve provides reliable shut-off control for water and other compatible fluids in residential and light commercial applications. Its compact brass construction is intended for durability and compatibility with common soldering techniques used by plumbers and heating specialists.

Advantages

The valve offers a compact design suitable for confined spaces, a PN30 pressure rating for higher-pressure circuits, and a straightforward quarter-turn operation for rapid shut-off. Its soldering connection ensures a secure, permanent joint when installed correctly, while the brass body provides corrosion resistance and thermal stability appropriate for hot and cold water systems.

Suitable for

• Residential potable water supply lines
• Heating circuits and radiator connections in light commercial buildings
• Plumbing repairs and new installations requiring a soldered connection
• Applications where a compact ball valve with higher pressure rating is needed

When it may not be suitable

This soldering ball valve is not intended for applications requiring frequent disassembly or where a removable fitting is preferred, since soldered joints are permanent. It may not be appropriate for aggressive chemical fluids or media outside the compatibility of brass; verify fluid compatibility before selection.

Key specifications

• Nominal diameter: 15 mm
• Pressure rating: PN30
• Connection type: soldering (cup/sweat) connection for permanent joint
• Material: brass body suitable for standard plumbing environments
• Operation: manual quarter-turn ball mechanism

How to use

Prepare the pipe and valve connection surfaces by cleaning and applying appropriate flux for soldering. Position the valve on the prepared pipe and heat the joint evenly until a proper solder fillet forms. Allow the joint to cool without movement to ensure a secure seal. After installation, operate the valve through a full open and close cycle to confirm smooth quarter-turn action and check the system at operating pressure for leaks before returning to service.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 15 mm nominal diameter matches your existing piping and fittings.
• Ensure PN30 pressure rating is adequate for your system’s maximum operating pressure.
• Verify brass compatibility with the fluid in your system, especially for non-water media.
• Plan for a permanent soldered connection; consider accessibility for future maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate flux and solder materials compatible with potable water systems when installing on drinking water lines. Follow local plumbing codes and standard soldering practices, and test the installation at working pressure after cooling. For installations with potential vibration or thermal cycling, confirm joint integrity periodically.
