Ball angle valve ARCO VA30 for boilers 1/2" male thread x 1/2" female thread with covered filter and butterfly handle

ARCO VA30 is an angle ball valve engineered for boiler installations with a 1/2" male thread to 1/2" female thread connection. The valve integrates a covered inlet filter to protect the system from debris and a butterfly-style handle for straightforward manual operation. Its compact angled design allows installation in confined spaces often found near boilers and servicing points.

Advantages

The valve’s ball mechanism provides reliable shut-off and smooth flow control with minimal pressure drop. The covered filter reduces the risk of blockages and protects downstream components during startup and maintenance. The butterfly handle enables quick manual operation and precise positioning, while the angle configuration simplifies piping runs and connection to boiler inlets or outlets.

Suitable for

• Domestic and small commercial boiler inlet shut-off and isolation
• Maintenance and servicing points where debris protection is required
• Compact plumbing layouts with limited installation space
• Systems requiring a manual, quick‑acting isolation valve

Key specifications

• Connection type: 1/2" male thread to 1/2" female thread
• Valve style: angle ball valve
• Handle type: butterfly manual handle
• Filter: integrated covered inlet filter for debris protection
• Typical application: boiler installations and heating system isolation

How to use

Install the ARCO VA30 in the appropriate orientation for an angled connection between the boiler and supply line, ensuring thread sealant or tape is applied to threaded joints per local plumbing practice. Use the butterfly handle to open or close the valve: a quarter-turn of the handle operates the ball mechanism for full open or full closed positions. Periodically inspect and, if necessary, clean the covered filter element during scheduled maintenance to maintain flow and protect downstream components.

Usage recommendations

Use the valve within the temperature and pressure limits applicable to your boiler and heating system. Before performing maintenance, isolate the circuit and relieve system pressure. Regular inspection of the covered filter will extend the service life of connected equipment and help avoid flow restrictions.
