Bibcock water ball valve with compression nut and hose nipple 1"

Product detailed description

This bibcock water ball valve is commonly used in residential and commercial settings where a fixed water supply line needs to connect to a flexible hose. It is frequently installed in garages, utility rooms, technical areas, and outdoor water outlets. The valve provides a reliable and leak-free connection between rigid copper or plastic piping and flexible garden or laundry hoses. The quarter-turn ball mechanism allows for quick and efficient shut-off of water flow, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent disconnection or isolation of the water supply.

Its compact design and durable brass construction make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The valve is often integrated into irrigation systems, outdoor taps, and utility water lines. The compression nut ensures a secure connection without the need for soldering, while the hose nipple is compatible with standard hose fittings. This makes the Z-CZD25 a practical solution for installers working on water supply systems that require a transition from rigid to flexible piping.

Technical parameters

The nominal pressure of 10 bar indicates the valve’s ability to handle typical domestic water supply pressures. The maximum operating temperature of 100°C ensures compatibility with both hot and cold water applications. The 1 inch connection size is standard for many water supply systems, making it suitable for a wide range of installations. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and system compatibility, particularly in applications involving thermal expansion or high-pressure environments.

Installation and connection

Installation of the Z-CZD25 involves connecting the compression nut side to a copper or plastic pipe and attaching the hose nipple to a flexible hose. The compression nut requires a suitable compression ring to ensure a watertight seal. The hose nipple should be tightened securely using a wrench to prevent leakage. It is important to ensure that the threads are clean and free of debris before tightening. A common mistake during installation is over-tightening the hose nipple, which can damage the fitting or cause leaks. Installers should also verify that the compression nut is properly seated against the pipe and that the compression ring is not twisted or damaged.

Compatibility and accessories

The Z-CZD25 is compatible with standard 1 inch copper or plastic water supply lines and standard garden or laundry hoses. It is recommended to use a compression ring when connecting the compression nut to the pipe. No additional accessories are typically required for basic installation. The valve is suitable for use in domestic water systems, irrigation setups, and utility water lines. It is not recommended for use with non-water media or in high-pressure industrial applications unless specified in the manufacturer’s technical data sheet.

Technical background for designers

The Z-CZD25 operates using a ball valve mechanism, where a rotating ball with a central hole controls the flow of water. When the ball is aligned with the flow direction, water passes through; when rotated 90 degrees, the ball blocks the flow. The valve is designed to integrate into standard water supply systems and is compatible with typical domestic pressure and temperature conditions. The service life and efficiency of the valve depend on the quality of the installation, the condition of the connected piping, and the frequency of use. Regular inspection of the compression nut and hose connections is recommended to ensure continued performance.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the compression nut and hose connections is recommended to ensure a watertight seal. If leakage occurs, the compression nut should be checked for damage or wear, and the compression ring should be replaced if necessary. The hose nipple should also be inspected for signs of wear or damage, particularly if the valve is used frequently. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but periodic checks are advisable to maintain system integrity. If the valve becomes difficult to operate, it may indicate internal wear or debris accumulation, and further inspection or replacement may be necessary.

Frequently asked questions
