The Altecnic T-Bar Valve 22 mm (Blue) is a manual isolation valve used in central heating, hot water, and plumbing systems. It provides a simple and reliable way to open or close the flow of water through a pipe, making it useful for servicing, installation, and maintenance tasks.

Function & Purpose

This valve allows you to manually control the flow of water in a 22 mm pipe run. The blue T-bar handle provides an easy grip for turning the valve on or off, and the colour coding helps distinguish this valve typically for cold water or another dedicated circuit (depending on your system layout). When the handle is turned to the open position, water flows freely; when closed, it isolates that section of pipework so work can be done downstream without draining the entire system.

Compatibility

This T-bar valve is specifically sized for 22 mm pipework, a common diameter in domestic and light commercial heating and plumbing systems. It is compatible with copper, plastic, and other pipe materials used with appropriate joining methods (e.g., compression or press fittings) in your installation.

Design & Build Quality

The valve features a blue T-bar handle for easy manual operation and clear visual identification. Its body is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand typical water pressures and temperatures in central heating and plumbing circuits. The internal design offers dependable shut-off performance when closed and minimal flow resistance when open.

Ideal Applications

The Altecnic T-Bar Valve 22 mm (Blue) is ideal for:

Manual isolation of sections of pipework during installation or servicing
Cold water feed isolation points (common use when colour coding is applied)
Radiator and boiler feed control points
Temporary shutdowns for maintenance without needing to drain the whole system

Its straightforward operation and clear colour coding make it a practical choice for plumbers and heating engineers needing a reliable isolation valve in central heating and plumbing installations.
