Push-Fit Ball Valve 16mm

Inline push-fit ball valve for 16 mm OD tube, the size used on high-flow pure water setups. Use it to isolate a filter stage, tank feed or flush line.

Key features

• Push-fit on both ends
• Lever handle for on/off control
• Plastic body with stainless steel retaining clips

How to fit

• Cut the tube square with a tube cutter and check the end is clean and unmarked
• Push the tube in past the first resistance until it stops, then pull back to check it has gripped
• To remove, turn the water off, hold the release collar in and pull the tube out
• A drip when the water goes on usually means the tube is not fully home

Good to know

• For cold water. Drain the line in freezing weather
• Keep grit off the tube end, as it damages the seal inside the fitting
• Maximum working pressure 150 psi (10 bar)
