ARCO Mini Valve for 16x2mm Multilayer Pipe, Blue Handle

The ARCO mini valve is a high-quality shut-off component specifically engineered for 16x2mm multilayer pipes. Constructed from durable brass, this compact valve provides a reliable solution for managing water flow within residential and commercial plumbing and heating systems. Its design features a distinct blue handle, allowing for quick and easy identification of the cold water line or the specific circuit being controlled.

Advantages

This mini valve stands out due to its robust brass construction, which ensures long-term durability and resistance to corrosion in various water conditions. The compact design allows for installation in tight spaces where standard-sized valves might not fit, providing flexibility for complex piping layouts. Furthermore, the smooth operation of the handle ensures precise control over water flow, while the high pressure and temperature ratings guarantee safety and performance in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Residential plumbing systems
• Commercial heating installations
• Multilayer pipe networks with 16x2mm dimensions
• Cold water supply lines

This valve may not be suitable for high-flow industrial applications where a full-bore valve is required to minimize pressure drop. It is also not intended for use with aggressive chemicals or fluids that are incompatible with brass materials.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 16x2mm
• Material: Brass
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 95°C
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Handle color: Blue

To install the ARCO mini valve, ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and are free of burrs. Insert the pipe into the valve connection and tighten the fitting securely according to standard plumbing practices for multilayer pipes. Once installed, verify the connection for leaks by slowly pressurizing the system and observing the joint.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe diameter is exactly 16x2mm
• Ensure the operating temperature and pressure of your system do not exceed the valve limits
• Check local plumbing codes for installation requirements

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of leakage or stiffness in the handle. It is recommended to operate the valve fully open and fully closed at least twice a year to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the mechanism remains functional over its service life.
