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

Product detailed description

Water ball valves are essential components in heating and plumbing systems, particularly in residential and commercial buildings where controlled flow of hot and cold water is required. Installers and technicians commonly encounter these valves in central heating systems, domestic hot water circuits, and water supply lines. The TYTAN model is suited for applications where a durable, leak-proof and easy-to-operate shut-off is needed. It is frequently used in conjunction with radiators, underfloor heating manifolds, and water heater connections. The lever handle provides a clear visual indication of the valve's position, which is especially useful in systems with multiple valves.

Correct selection and installation of ball valves are crucial for system performance. The TYTAN model is designed to operate within a defined pressure and temperature range, ensuring compatibility with standard domestic and light commercial systems. It is not intended for high-pressure industrial applications or for use with aggressive media such as chemicals or seawater. The valve’s compact design and standard connection make it suitable for tight spaces and retrofitting in existing systems.

The technical parameters of the TYTAN water ball valve are essential for proper system integration. The nominal pressure range of 20–30 bar indicates the valve can handle typical domestic and light commercial water pressures. The maximum operating temperature of 120°C ensures compatibility with central heating systems and hot water circuits. The 1 inch G1 thread size is a standard connection in many European plumbing systems, facilitating straightforward installation. These parameters are critical for ensuring the valve is correctly sized and selected for the intended application.

Installation and connection

Installation of the TYTAN water ball valve requires attention to connection details and system compatibility. The valve features a 1 inch G1 female-to-male (F-M) connection, which is commonly used in domestic and commercial plumbing. Prior to installation, the system should be depressurised and the pipe ends cleaned to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. The lever handle should be positioned for easy access and to avoid interference with adjacent components. A common mistake during installation is incorrect tightening of the compression nut, which can lead to leaks or damage to the valve body. It is also important to ensure that the valve is installed in the correct orientation, with the flow direction aligned as per the manufacturer’s specifications.

Compatibility and accessories

The TYTAN water ball valve is compatible with standard copper, PEX and steel pipes used in heating and plumbing systems. It is suitable for use with central heating boilers, water heaters and circulation pumps. When installing in a new system, it is recommended to pair the valve with a pressure-reducing valve if the incoming water pressure exceeds 30 bar. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but in complex systems, pressure gauges or temperature sensors may be added for monitoring purposes. There are no related products listed for this model.

Technical background for designers

The TYTAN water ball valve operates on the principle of a rotating ball with a central bore that aligns with the flow path when open and blocks it when closed. The ball is made from chrome-plated brass, which provides resistance to corrosion and wear. The PTFE sealing material ensures a tight shut-off and low friction during operation. The lever handle is made of steel with a PVC coating for durability and a non-slip grip. The brass body offers good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, making it suitable for both hot and cold water applications. The valve is designed for integration into standard domestic and light commercial systems, where it provides a reliable and long-lasting shut-off solution. The service life is influenced by the operating conditions, particularly the frequency of operation and the quality of the water being handled.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the TYTAN water ball valve is recommended to ensure continued performance. The lever handle should be checked for smooth operation and signs of wear or damage. The compression nut should be inspected for tightness and signs of leakage. If the valve becomes difficult to operate, it may indicate a need for maintenance, such as cleaning or lubrication of the stem. There are no specified service intervals in the brief, but any issues should be addressed promptly to avoid system disruption. The 5-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, but does not include damage caused by misuse or incorrect installation.
