Shut-off Valves

Complete Guide to Shut-Off Valves for Safe Installations

A shut-off valve, often called a shut-off valve, is used to completely open or shut off the flow in a pipeline. Having the right valve installed in strategic locations in your plumbing system is crucial to preventing water leaks, facilitating future service work, and protecting your property during any maintenance measures.

Benefits of the Right Shut-Off Valve

• Maximum control and safety: Allows you to quickly shut off the water in specific parts of the pipe system without having to turn off the main tap for the entire building.
• Long life and tightness: Made of robust and corrosion-resistant materials such as brass, stainless steel, or durable plastic for minimal wear over time.
• Versatile applications: Works equally well for drinking water and heating systems as for garden irrigation and compressed air systems.
• Smooth operation: Different types of knobs and handles make the valve easy to open and close even after long periods of use.

Important things to consider before your purchase

Before choosing a shut-off valve, it is important to ensure that the component is suitable for your specific installations:

1. Pressure and medium: Check what pressure (e.g. PN rating) and what type of liquid or gas the valve will handle.
2. Dimensions and threads: Make sure you choose the correct connection size and thread type so that the valve seals completely tightly against existing pipes or hoses.
3. Location and space: Choose a model where the handle or lever can be turned freely without hitting walls or other pipes in tight spaces.
4. Manual or automatic: Consider whether you need a manual ball valve for direct handling or a solenoid valve for automated control.
