Flat faced isolating valves, 15mm compression to a 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch male flat face, straight or angled. Made for flexible hoses and tap tails that seal on a fibre washer.

Isolating valves let you shut off the supply to one tap, cistern or appliance so the rest of the house keeps its water while you work.

Common Questions

How do I turn off a service valve?
Turn the slot or lever a quarter turn. When the slot or handle sits across the pipe the valve is shut, and when it runs along the pipe it is open.

Where should isolating valves go?
On the feed to each tap, toilet cistern, water heater and appliance, close enough to reach. It saves shutting off the whole house for a washer change.

Will a compression valve fit plastic pipe?
Yes, with a pipe insert in the plastic pipe. Copper needs no insert.
