Water ball valve TYTAN with butterfly handle and compression nut 1'', F-M

Product detailed description

Water ball valves are essential components in plumbing and heating systems, particularly in residential and commercial buildings where reliable shut-off is required. This valve is commonly used in domestic water supply lines, heating circuits, and other applications where a quick and secure closure is necessary. Installers and technicians often encounter these valves in tight spaces, such as under sinks, in boiler rooms, or in wall cavities, where compact and efficient operation is critical. The butterfly handle design of the TYTAN model ensures ease of operation in such confined areas without the need for a long lever arm.

Correct selection and installation of ball valves are crucial for system integrity. The valve must be compatible with the system pressure and temperature, and the connection type must match the existing piping. The TYTAN model is designed for use with both hot and cold water, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in both new and retrofit installations.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation of the TYTAN water ball valve involves connecting it to the system using the provided 1 inch (G1) male and female thread. The compression nut ensures a secure fit and helps prevent leaks. Before installation, the installer should verify that the pipe threads are clean and free of debris to ensure a proper seal. The butterfly handle should be aligned with the flow direction for open and perpendicular for closed positions. Common installation mistakes include over-tightening the compression nut, which can damage the threads or cause leaks, and failing to check the direction of flow, which can lead to improper operation.

Compatibility and accessories

The TYTAN valve is compatible with standard water supply and heating systems that use 1 inch (G1) threaded connections. It is suitable for use with copper, PVC, and steel pipes. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but in some cases, a sealing compound or PTFE tape may be used to enhance the seal. The valve is not designed for use with other media such as steam or aggressive chemicals. Related products may include other ball valves or shut-off valves from the same range, depending on the system requirements.

Technical background for designers

The TYTAN water ball valve operates on a simple yet effective principle. The chrome-plated brass ball rotates within a brass body to control the flow of water. The PTFE sealing material ensures a tight closure and minimizes wear over time. The use of brass for both the body and the ball provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The valve is designed to integrate into standard water supply and heating systems, where it provides a reliable shut-off function. The service life of the valve is influenced by factors such as the quality of installation, the operating conditions, and the frequency of use. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to ensure long-term performance.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the TYTAN valve is recommended to ensure continued performance. The main checkpoints include verifying that the handle moves smoothly and that there are no signs of leakage around the compression nut. The valve does not require regular maintenance beyond these checks. If the handle becomes stiff or the valve shows signs of leakage, it should be replaced. The 5-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, but does not include damage caused by incorrect installation or operation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the TYTAN valve be used in steam systems?
No, the valve is designed for use with hot and cold water only. It is not suitable for steam or other high-temperature media.

Is the TYTAN valve suitable for use in outdoor installations?
Yes, provided it is installed in a protected location and the operating conditions do not exceed the specified temperature and pressure limits.

Can the butterfly handle be replaced with a standard lever handle?
No, the butterfly handle is an integral part of the valve design and cannot be replaced with a different type of handle.

What is the maximum operating pressure of the TYTAN valve?
The valve has a nominal pressure of 30 bar, which is suitable for most domestic and commercial water supply systems.
