Description
Overview:
The Wheel Gate Valve 1" is a manual isolation valve for controlling on/off flow in water and general non‐corrosive fluid lines. Made from durable brass, it offers dependable service in plumbing circuits found on building sites, workshops, farms, and fixed plant rooms. With a 1 inch (25.4 mm) BSPT female threaded connection at each end, it installs easily into standard UK threaded pipework. The cast wheel handle provides smooth multi‐turn operation for gradual opening and closing, helping to reduce water hammer. Rated PN20, it is suitable for systems operating up to 20 bar, and works across a wide temperature range of -20°C to +120°C. Built to BS 5154 requirements, this valve is a robust choice for isolation and maintenance tasks in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
Key Features:
- 1" (25.4 mm) BSPT female threads for straightforward connection to UK tapered pipework
- PN20 pressure rating for use up to 20 bar in suitable systems
