What it is

This is an Altecnic 15mm Type A drain off valve with a short tail. It is fitted to 15mm pipework so that a heating or plumbing system can be drained down at a chosen low point. The valve allows water to be released in a controlled way rather than emptied from an open pipe end.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The valve drips or weeps from the outlet when it should be closed
  • The spindle is seized, stiff or will not turn
  • Water leaks from the spindle gland when the valve is operated
  • The valve will not reseat or seal after a drain down
  • Scale, corrosion or staining is visible around the valve body

Before you order

  • Confirm the pipework at the drain point is 15mm
  • Check the existing valve is a Type A pattern with a short tail, as tail length varies between fittings
  • Allow enough clearance around the valve to operate the spindle and connect a hose
  • Identify the drain point and check access before draining the system
