PolyPlumb Bent Service Valve 15mm

The Polyplumb Bent Service Valve combines a bent tap connector with a small isolating valve. Pipe of 15mm pushes into one end, while the other end carries a 1/2″ tap nut.

Why fit a Polyplumb Bent Service Valve

Every tap should have its own isolation, so a washer or cartridge can be changed without draining the house. This fitting does that and turns the pipe up into the tap at the same time. That saves space under a basin, where a separate valve and connector can crowd the trap.

• Size: 15mm x 1/2″
• Push Fit socket for 15mm pipe
• Tap connector nut with a washer for a 1/2″ tap tail
• Built in isolating valve

Put a stiffener in plastic pipe before pushing it home. Check the fibre or rubber washer is in the nut, then run the nut up the tail by hand before a last nip with a spanner. Leave the valve where you can reach it later. For straight versions and other connectors, go to Polyplumb Fittings.

Common Questions

What does a bent service valve do?

It isolates one tap and turns the pipe up into the tap tail in one fitting, which saves room under a basin.

How do I turn off a service valve?

Turn the slot a quarter turn with a flat screwdriver, so it sits across the pipe. In line with the pipe means open.

Bent or straight service valve?

Use the bent one where the pipe comes from the side or the wall, and the straight one where it rises directly below the tap.
