Altecnic 22mm Press-Fit Extended Lever Ball Valve 124-8023

The Altecnic 22mm Press-fit Extended Lever Ball Valve is an isolation valve for use on 22mm pipework. It uses a press-fit connection at both ends and is operated by an extended lever handle, which gives extra reach for turning the valve where access is tight. The valve is part of the Altecnic ball valve range and is used to isolate sections of a heating or plumbing circuit.

• The lever handle turns but flow is not shut off, indicating the ball or seats have worn.
• Weeping or dripping from the valve body, spindle or press-fit joints.
• The lever becomes stiff, seized or fails to move through its full quarter turn.
• Visible corrosion or scale build-up on the valve body or connections.
• The valve no longer holds isolation during maintenance work on the circuit.

• Confirm the pipework is 22mm and suitable for a press-fit connection.
• Check that a press tool and the correct jaws or collars for this connection type are available.
• Verify the extended lever will clear surrounding pipework and components once fitted.
• Confirm the valve position and orientation suit the direction of flow in the circuit.
