When it may not be suitable

This valve is intended for standard water applications and is not suitable for use with aggressive chemicals, steam, or high-pressure industrial gases that may compromise the brass material or the internal seals. It should not be installed in systems where the operating temperature or pressure exceeds the manufacturer's specified limits for standard brass ball valves.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 3/4 inch
• Material: Brass (available in chrome-plated or standard finish)
• Handle type: T-handle (Red or Blue)
• Design: Standard port ball valve
• Connection type: Female-tail piece with male thread

How to use

To install the valve, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the valve onto the pipe, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads or the valve body. Once installed, turn the T-handle to the open or closed position to regulate the water flow as required. Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of moisture or leaks after the initial pressurization of the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the pipe diameter matches the 3/4 inch connection size.
• Check the compatibility of the brass material with your specific water quality.
• Ensure the handle color (red or blue) aligns with your system identification requirements.
• Confirm the quantity needed, as these are supplied in packs of 10.

Usage recommendations: Always perform a pressure test on the system after installation to ensure all connections are secure. It is recommended to operate the valve at least twice a year to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the mechanism remains smooth and responsive.
