Product Description

15mm Chrome-Plated Isolation Valve WRAS Approved

Model: 307425

Control the water supply to individual taps, appliances or pipe sections with this 15mm chrome-plated isolation valve. The valve lets you isolate one part of the plumbing system without turning off the water to the entire property.

As a result, future repairs and maintenance become quicker and easier. For example, you can isolate a compatible tap or water-using appliance while the rest of the system remains available.

The valve has 15mm compression connections. Therefore, installation requires no heat or soldering. Its chrome-plated finish also provides a neat appearance in visible locations.

Where Can You Use an Isolation Valve?

This 15mm isolation valve can provide local water control for many compatible plumbing applications. Typical uses include:

• Washbasin taps
• Kitchen taps
• Toilet cisterns
• Compatible showers
• Washing machines
• Dishwashers
• Other suitable water-using appliances
• Individual sections of 15mm pipework

However, always confirm that the valve suits the water pressure, temperature and intended application before installation.

Why Fit a Local Isolation Valve?

A local isolation valve gives you better control over the plumbing system. If a tap or appliance needs attention, you can shut off its water supply without affecting every outlet in the property.

Therefore, plumbers can complete repairs with less disruption. It can also make future servicing and appliance replacement much easier.

Compression-Fit Installation

The 15mm compression connections create a mechanical joint. Consequently, you do not need a blowtorch or solder.

Before installation, make sure the pipe is clean, round and free from damage. Next, fit the compression nut and olive correctly. Then, insert the pipe fully into the valve and tighten the joint with suitable tools.

Finally, restore the water supply slowly and check both connections for leaks. Do not overtighten the compression fittings because this may damage the valve or olive.

Installation Guidance

• Turn off and drain the relevant water supply before installation
• Confirm that the pipe has a 15mm outside diameter
• Cut the pipe square with a suitable pipe cutter
• Remove burrs and clean the pipe ends
• Fit the nuts and olives in the correct order
• Insert each pipe fully into the valve
• Hold the valve securely while tightening the nuts
• Do not overtighten the compression joints
• Restore the water supply slowly
• Check every joint for leaks

A competent person should install the valve. In addition, all plumbing work must follow current Water Supply Regulations and local requirements.
