Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Isolating water flow to individual fixtures
• Tight spaces where standard valves do not fit

When it may not be suitable

This valve is designed specifically for water supply systems and is not intended for use with aggressive chemicals, gases, or high-temperature steam applications. It should not be installed in systems where the operating pressure or temperature exceeds the specified maximum limits.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection type: 1/2 inch swivel nut x 1/2 inch outer thread
• Maximum operating pressure: 16 Bar
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 90°C

How to use

To install the ARCO 02290, ensure the water supply is turned off and the pipes are clean. Connect the swivel nut side to the corresponding male thread and the outlet side to the desired pipe or fixture. Use appropriate sealing materials such as PTFE tape if necessary to ensure a watertight connection. Once installed, turn the red handle 90 degrees to open or close the valve as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size and connection type of your existing plumbing
• Ensure the operating environment stays within the 0-90°C temperature range
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed 16 Bar

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of leakage or stiffness in the handle. It is recommended to operate the handle periodically to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the valve remains easy to turn over time.
