Altecnic Filter Ball Valve 124-6006 CST

The Altecnic 1 1/4 Filter Ball Valve is a ball valve with an integral filter element, used to isolate a section of pipework while capturing debris carried in the system water. It is manufactured by Altecnic and sits within the Altecnic ball valve range, and is typically installed on heating and boiler circuits where both shut-off and filtration are needed at the same point.

• System flow is restricted or noticeably reduced, suggesting the filter element or valve bore is blocked.
• Water seeps from the spindle or body joints when the valve is operated or left under pressure.
• The lever is stiff, seized or fails to move through its full quarter-turn travel.
• The valve no longer isolates the section fully when closed, so downstream work cannot be carried out dry.
• Debris is passing downstream, indicating the filter is damaged or no longer seating correctly.

• Confirm the pipework size is 1 1/4 and matches the existing valve connections.
• Check that the installation is an Altecnic ball valve arrangement so the body and connections suit the pipework.
• Confirm the installed position allows the filter element to be accessed and cleaned once fitted.
• Isolate and drain the system before removing the old valve.
