Characteristic Description
Material Composition
The UPVC body resists rust, scaling, and chemical erosion, making it ideal for potable water and wastewater applications. The TPE seat seal ensures food-grade safety and tight closure, while the PP ball guarantees non-toxic, smooth fluid passage. The ABS handle is lightweight yet robust, offering comfortable operation, and the NBR O-ring provides long-lasting leak protection.
Structural Design
With two shape options—sleek octagonal and space-saving compact—the valve fits seamlessly into residential kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial plumbing layouts. Threaded and socket connections are available, compatible with standard PVC pipes for hassle-free installation. The innovative O-ring placement inside the valve body (instead of the handle) simplifies assembly and reduces the risk of loosening over time, a common issue with traditional designs.
Market Research
The residential and commercial plumbing market is expanding rapidly, driven by urbanization and renovation trends. Consumers and contractors prioritize valves that are easy to install, low-maintenance, and compliant with safety standards. Asian markets, in particular, favor compact designs for small living spaces, while North American and European markets demand adherence to ASTM and BS standards for potable water use. This valve’s versatility, safety, and user-friendly features align with these market needs, making it a top choice for plumbing projects worldwide.
Key Features
Tool-Free Installation: Threaded and socket connections enable quick assembly without specialized tools, reducing installation time for plumbers.
Low-Maintenance Design: The detachable handle allows for easy replacement or addition of an O-ring, eliminating the need to remove the entire valve during repairs.
Space-Saving Compact Option: The compact shape is perfect for tight spaces like under-sink cabinets or wall-mounted piping systems.
Rigorous Leak Testing: Each unit undergoes 24-hour high-pressure air testing (equivalent to 16pn water pressure) to ensure zero leakage in plumbing applications.
Performance Meets
Compliant with ASTM, DIN, JIS, and BS standards, this valve meets global safety and quality requirements for residential and commercial plumbing. It performs reliably in water pressure ranging from low household use to medium commercial applications, with temperature resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. The smooth handle rotation (especially for sizes 2.5" and above) ensures easy operation for homeowners and maintenance staff alike.
