• Main shut-off applications for water lines

When it may not be suitable

This valve is not intended for use with high-pressure steam, corrosive chemicals, or abrasive fluids that could damage the internal seals. It is also not suitable for applications requiring automated or motorized valve actuation, as it is designed specifically for manual operation.

Key specifications

• Connection size: 2 inches
• Connection type: Female-Female
• Handle type: Long lever handle

How to use

To install the valve, ensure that the piping is clean and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threaded ends of your pipes before screwing them into the female ports of the valve. Tighten the connections using suitable plumbing tools, ensuring they are secure but not overtightened to avoid damaging the threads. Once installed, the valve can be operated by rotating the long handle 90 degrees to switch between the fully open and fully closed positions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your pipe diameter matches the 2-inch specification.
• Ensure there is sufficient clearance in your installation area to accommodate the long handle movement.
• Check that the system pressure and temperature are within the standard operating limits for this type of valve.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of moisture or leaks around the stem and connections. It is recommended to cycle the handle periodically to prevent mineral buildup and ensure the valve remains easy to operate over time.
