Angle ball valve with filter and rosette 1/2-3/4"

Product detailed description

This angle ball valve with filter is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems to regulate and purify water flow. It is typically installed in applications where water quality is a concern, such as in laundry rooms, utility areas, or near external taps. The valve is designed for use with both cold and hot water, making it suitable for a range of domestic and industrial water systems. Its compact design and robust construction make it ideal for use in tight spaces or where a durable, low-maintenance solution is required.

Installers and technicians often use this type of valve in conjunction with appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, or in pre-treatment systems for taps. The built-in filter helps prevent sediment and debris from entering downstream equipment, reducing the risk of clogging and damage. The valve is also suitable for integration into larger plumbing systems where filtration is required at the point of use.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation begins with ensuring the water supply is turned off and the system is depressurised. The G1/2 inch inlet is connected to the incoming water supply, typically using a standard pipe thread. The G3/4 inch outlet connects to the appliance or fixture, such as a washing machine hose or an external tap. It is important to check that the threads are clean and free of debris before tightening the connections to prevent leaks. A common mistake is over-tightening the fittings, which can damage the threads or the valve body. Installers should also verify that the filter is correctly positioned and not obstructed by debris during installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This valve is compatible with standard domestic water supply systems and is often used in conjunction with appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, or in pre-treatment systems for taps. It is not designed for high-pressure or high-temperature industrial applications. When installing, it is necessary to have appropriate pipe fittings and sealing materials such as PTFE tape or thread sealant. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but it is recommended to have a wrench or adjustable spanner for tightening connections.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of this valve is based on a ball valve mechanism, which allows for a tight shut-off by rotating a ball with a hole through it. The built-in filter is designed to capture sediment and particulate matter in the water flow, preventing it from reaching downstream equipment. The brass body provides good strength and resistance to corrosion, while the chrome finish offers additional protection and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The valve is suitable for integration into systems where filtration is required at the point of use. The service life and efficiency of the valve are influenced by the quality of the water supply and the frequency of maintenance. Regular inspection of the filter and valve body is recommended to ensure continued performance.

Service and operation

During operation, the valve should be checked periodically for signs of leaks, corrosion, or blockage in the filter. The filter can be removed for cleaning if necessary, depending on the water quality and usage. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is advisable to inspect the valve during routine maintenance of the plumbing system. If the filter becomes clogged, it should be cleaned or replaced to maintain optimal water flow. The valve should be operated with care to avoid damaging the ball mechanism or the sealing surfaces.
