The Inta Full Bore Ball Valve 15 mm with Blue Butterfly Handle is a manual isolation valve designed for use in plumbing and heating systems. Its full-bore design provides minimal flow restriction when fully open, and the blue butterfly handle allows for quick and easy manual operation.

Function & Purpose

This ball valve allows you to shut off or allow flow in a 15 mm pipe run. Inside the valve, a hollow ball rotates to line up with the pipe when open (allowing unrestricted flow) or turn perpendicular to block flow. The full-bore design means the internal opening is the same diameter as the pipe, reducing pressure drop and enabling efficient water passage when the valve is open. The blue butterfly handle makes operating the valve simple and provides a clear visual indicator of on/off position.

Compatibility

This valve is designed for 15 mm pipework, a standard size in many domestic and light-commercial applications including central heating, hot and cold water supplies, and appliance feeds. It can be used with copper, plastic, or other compatible piping systems when fitted using the correct joining method (e.g., compression, press-fit, or threaded, depending on specific valve model).

Design & Build Quality

The Inta ball valve features a robust body and a reliable internal ball mechanism engineered for long-term performance. The blue butterfly handle offers easy grip and fast operation, making it ideal where valves may be accessed frequently or in confined spaces. The full-bore construction minimises flow resistance, helping maintain system performance and efficiency.

Ideal Applications

This 15 mm ball valve is ideal for:

Manual isolation of pipework during installation or servicing
Shutting off feeds to radiators, appliances, or specific sections of a central heating or plumbing system
Quick access isolation points in hot and cold water distribution
Situations where unobstructed flow and easy operation are priorities

Using a full-bore valve helps keep pressure loss low and supports efficient fluid delivery in everyday plumbing and heating applications.
