Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVCu ball valve be used with hot water or aggressive chemicals?
The valve is suitable for many cold and mildly warm water applications and certain chemicals compatible with PVCu and EPDM. For hot water, steam or aggressive chemicals, always check the temperature and chemical resistance of both PVCu and EPDM against your specific operating conditions before use.
How is this double union ball valve connected to the pipework?
The valve features plain metric sockets designed for solvent weld connections to matching PVCu pipe. A suitable solvent cement and cleaner should be used, following the cement manufacturer’s instructions, to achieve a strong, permanent joint.
Can the valve be removed for maintenance without cutting the pipe?
Yes. The double union design allows the unions at each end of the valve to be undone, so the central valve body can be removed for inspection, cleaning or replacement without cutting or disturbing the fixed pipework.
