Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial heating and cooling circuits
• General plumbing maintenance and upgrades
• Flow regulation in water distribution networks

When it may not be suitable

This valve is not intended for use with high-pressure steam, aggressive chemical agents, or gases that require specialized certification. It is also not suitable for applications where the pipe diameter does not match the 1 1/4 inch specification.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 1 1/4 inch
• Thread type: Female-Female
• Operation: Manual long handle
• Application: Water and heating systems

How to use

To install the valve, ensure the piping system is depressurized and drained. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male pipe ends before screwing them into the female ports of the valve. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the connections, ensuring they are secure without over-tightening, which could damage the threads. Once installed, slowly open the valve using the long handle to check for leaks before putting the system back into full operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe diameter is exactly 1 1/4 inch.
• Ensure the female-female configuration matches your existing pipe ends.
• Check that the installation space allows for the full rotation of the long handle.

Usage recommendations

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