Water ball valve TYTAN with union and compression nut 3/4", female-male

Product detailed description

This water ball valve is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where reliable shut-off is required. It is suitable for both cold and hot water distribution and is frequently installed in central heating systems, domestic water lines, and underfloor heating circuits. The presence of a union allows for quick disassembly without cutting the pipe, making it ideal for retrofitting or maintenance in tight spaces. Installers often use this valve in systems where access for future servicing is a priority.

Typical applications include installation in wall cavities, behind panels, or in mechanical rooms where space is limited. The valve is designed for use in systems with standard pipe diameters and is compatible with conventional copper or plastic piping. It is not intended for use with aggressive media or high-pressure industrial systems. The valve’s compact design and durable materials make it suitable for both new builds and renovation projects.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Installation involves connecting the valve to the pipeline using the female and male threads. The union allows for disassembly without removing the entire pipe. The G3/4 thread type requires a matching male or female connection on the adjacent pipe. Before tightening, ensure the union is aligned to prevent leakage. A common mistake is over-tightening the union, which can damage the PTFE sealing. Check that the valve is fully open during installation to prevent stress on the sealing components. Always verify the direction of flow, although this valve is generally non-directional.

Compatibility and accessories

This valve is compatible with standard copper, PEX, and plastic piping systems. It is suitable for use with standard pipe fittings and can be combined with other valves of the same type in a system. For installation, standard wrenches and pipe cutters may be required. No additional accessories are needed for basic installation. It is important to ensure that the system pressure and temperature do not exceed the valve’s specifications. No specific related products are required for this model.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of this ball valve is based on a pivoting ball with a bore that aligns with the flow direction when open. The ball is made from chrome-plated brass, which provides resistance to corrosion and wear. The PTFE sealing ensures a tight shut-off and low friction during operation. The brass body offers good mechanical strength and thermal stability. The valve is designed to integrate into standard domestic and heating water systems without requiring special tools or procedures. Long-term performance is influenced by the quality of the installation and the operating conditions, such as temperature and pressure fluctuations.

Service and operation

Regular inspection is recommended to ensure the valve operates smoothly. Check for signs of leakage around the union and the sealing area. If the valve becomes difficult to operate, it may indicate wear on the sealing or the ball. No scheduled service intervals are specified in the technical data. The union allows for easy replacement of the valve without dismantling the entire system. In case of failure, the valve can be removed and replaced without cutting the pipe, reducing downtime and installation effort.

Frequently asked questions

Can the TYTAN valve be used in a central heating system?
Yes, it is suitable for central heating systems as it can operate at a maximum temperature of 120°C and a nominal pressure of 30 bar.

Is the union removable without cutting the pipe?
Yes, the union allows the valve to be removed without cutting the pipe, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

What tools are needed for installation?
A standard wrench is sufficient for tightening the union and the threaded connections. No special tools are required.

Can this valve be used with plastic piping?
Yes, it is compatible with plastic piping as long as the connection type matches the G3/4 thread and the system parameters are within the valve’s specifications.
