ARCO 868035 Valve

The ARCO 868035 valve is a high-quality plumbing component designed for reliable flow control in water supply systems. Engineered for durability and precise operation, this brass valve ensures efficient performance in residential or commercial piping installations. It is built to withstand standard operating pressures, providing a secure connection and long-lasting service life for various plumbing applications.

Advantages

This valve is constructed from high-grade brass, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life even in demanding environments. Its precise engineering allows for smooth flow regulation, minimizing pressure drops and preventing leaks within the piping system. The robust design is specifically optimized for stability under varying thermal conditions, making it a dependable choice for professional plumbing setups.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Flow control in heating and cooling circuits
• Piping systems requiring a 16 x 2 mm connection

When it may not be suitable

This valve is not intended for use with aggressive chemicals, gases, or high-pressure steam systems that exceed its specified temperature and pressure ratings. It should also not be installed in environments where the fluid temperature drops below freezing or exceeds 95°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Connection size: 16 x 2 mm
• Maximum operating pressure: 16 Bar
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 95°C

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. Before installation, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. The valve should be tightened using appropriate tools, taking care not to exceed the torque limits to avoid damaging the brass threads. Once installed, slowly pressurize the system to check for any signs of leakage at the connection points.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16 x 2 mm connection size is compatible with your existing piping.
• Ensure the operating environment remains within the 0°C to 95°C temperature range.
• Confirm that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 Bar limit.
• Check the warranty terms for your specific use case, noting the difference between private and legal entity coverage.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the valve for signs of external corrosion or moisture buildup. If the valve is not operated frequently, it is recommended to turn the handle periodically to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the mechanism remains free to move.
